Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Fill a small bowl with ice and cold water to create an ice bath. Fill a small saucepan halfway with water and place over high heat. When the water boils, using a slotted spoon, gently add the eggs. Reduce the heat to medium and gently boil until the eggs are hard-cooked, about 12 minutes. Use the slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice bath.
-
Step 2.
While the eggs cool, preheat the oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together the sherry vinegar, minced shallot, Dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Let stand for 10 minutes, then whisk in ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil. Stir in the finely chopped parsley and capers.

Step 3.
Peel and dice the hard-boiled eggs, then stir them into the dressing.
-
Step 4.
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus. Spread the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer, drizzle with a little olive oil, and season with salt. Roast, stirring once halfway, until just crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5.
Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving plate and pour the egg-caper vinaigrette over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
