Method

1
Rinse the asparagus and cut or snap off the woody ends. You can peel the asparagus if you like. Toss the asparagus in oil and grill on a griddle pan for about 4 minutes, turning occasionally. Season with flaky sea salt.
2
Boil the eggs until hard-boiled, about 9 minutes. Cool and peel the eggs. Finely chop them with a knife or mash with a fork.
3
Finely chop the shallot and place in a bowl. Add the vinegar and salt, and let marinate for a few minutes. Whisk in the mustard and oil continuously. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
4
Finely chop the basil and flat-leaf parsley. Mix half of the herbs into the dressing and spoon the dressing over the asparagus. Top with the chopped egg and the remaining herbs. Serve with bread as an appetizer.
