•    Add the duck eggs to a pot of boiling water and cook for 7 minutes exactly. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop them cooking further. When cool, gently peel the shells off and set aside.
•    Place the sliced Parma ham onto an oven tray and under the grill at 180°C for 5 minutes or until crispy.
•    Blanch the asparagus in a pot of salted water for 1 minute. Remove from water.

To serve:
Place the asparagus on the plates. Cut the eggs in half and put 2 halves on each plate. Add the crispy Parma ham and Parmesan shavings and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Easy.
