step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
step 2
Pour boiling water over the peas (200 g) and set aside for 3-4 minutes, until thawed. Drain, then combine with 1 tbsp lemon juice and lemon zest (1), the grated parmesan (25 g) and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until broken down and creamy.
step 3
Meanwhile, boil the eggs (4) in a pan of simmering water for 6-7 minutes. Drain, peel and halve, then season with salt and pepper.
step 4
Arrange the sourdough (4 slices) and asparagus on a shallow baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season the asparagus (200 g) with salt. Roast for 7-8 minutes, until the bread is golden and the asparagus is charred.
step 5
To serve, spread the toasts with the pea smash. Top with the charred asparagus, soft-boiled eggs and some parmesan shavings.
