-
Heat your grill to high. Snap
off the woody ends of the asparagus spears and discard.
Cut the bread into 12 soldiers, a little shorter than the
asparagus.
-
Place a spear onto each
soldier and wrap tightly with a rasher of bacon. Place on
a baking tray, season and grill for 15 mins or until the
bacon is crisp.
-
Bring a pan of salted water to
the boil and simmer the duck eggs for about 7 mins, to get
a runny yolk and a cooked white. Serve immediately with
the warm soldiers for dipping.
