Pan-Roasted Asparagus with Fingerling Potatoes & Soft-Boiled Eggs

Pan-roasting fresh, spring asparagus allows it to become tender but still keep a little crunch. They pair beautifully with fluffy potatoes happily tossed in a tangy mustard-based vinaigrette. Each plate is crowned with a pair of soft-boiled farm eggs for a simple, yet elegant, meal that’s just as enjoyable for dinner as it is at the start of the day.

 
Spicy Wheat Beer

Wheat beers are wonderful to pair with food. They are a style of beer that is yeast-forward in flavor. While hops bring bitterness, yeast brings fruit flavors and spice without having to add any other ingredients. The combination of spicy yeast and the sweet wheat is a classic combination. For this dish, a spicy wheat beer will complement a tangy vinaigrette without detracting from the asparagus.

Muscat - Alsace, France

Asparagus can be a tricky one for us sommeliers—asparaguses are easily provoked. Muscats are delicate and floral, and don’t try to compete for attention. Hence, they live happily together with asparagus.
