Chef Patrick's Comment

It's true that Flemish-style asparagus or endives traditionally call for hard-boiled eggs, but the addition of tabasco and Iberian ham is a somewhat personal touch. But after all, what matters is that it tastes good! Personally, I also love this recipe with poached or soft-boiled eggs that are mashed and brightened with a splash of aged red wine vinegar.
