  Well, this is a genuine comment about the recipe! I made this as a starter for a dinner party with six friends. It was very easy and tasty. I will probably do this again but will, next time, serve the eggs warm (I let mine go cold, which is how I understood the instructions).

  Fabulous, really good flavours especially the hazelnut. The second time I made it I roasted the asparagus and poached the eggs serving them warm.

  The combination of soft asparagus, crunchy nuts and crisp bacon with a bite to it was a real winner with my guests; they especially liked the flavours in the dressing. I served it warm, like Gaby and used hen's eggs rather than duck eggs. The only downside - even with hen's eggs it was a very substantial starter so I may only give half an egg per person next time
