Chef Patrick's Comment

It is true that in asparagus or endives called "à la flamande" hard-boiled eggs are added, but the addition of tabasco and Iberian ham is a somewhat personal version, but after all, what does it matter if it tastes good. Personally, I also enjoy this recipe with poached or soft-boiled eggs mashed and revived with a touch of aged wine vinegar.
