Ingredients

1 egg yolk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon aged sherry vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped truffle or truffle oil
16 asparagus spears
4 ounces pancetta, sliced thin
8 slices whole-wheat bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
4 eggs, preferably organic

Instructions

To make aioli, place egg yolk in a bowl (do not use stainless steel). Slowly add oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until thickened. Add vinegar and truffle or truffle oil.
Preheat grill to medium. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and prepare a bowl of ice water.
Snap off tough ends of asparagus spears. Wrap a strip of pancetta around middle of a pair of spears. Grill wrapped asparagus bundles for 6 minutes or until pancetta is crispy.
Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, remove middle of each bread slice; discard edges. Brush both sides of each round with butter. Grill bread on each side; set aside.

Place 2 bread rounds on each of 4 serving plates; top with some truffle aioli. Place 1 bunch asparagus on each bread round; top with an egg half.
