Steamed Asparagus with Chopped Egg, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Flavor Enhancements:

Add aromatics: Sauté minced garlic or chopped shallots in olive oil before steaming the asparagus to infuse it with additional flavor.
Flavor with herbs: Sprinkle fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or chives over the asparagus before steaming.
Citrus zest: Add the zest of lemon or lime to the water before steaming for a bright and refreshing twist.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers to the chopped egg mixture for a kick.

Texture Variations:

Brown the asparagus: Roast the asparagus spears in the oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes before steaming, giving them a slightly browned exterior.
Grill the asparagus: Grill the asparagus spears over medium heat for a few minutes per side to add a charred flavor.
Use different egg preparations: Scrambled or poached eggs can add variety to the dish.

Presentation and Garnish:

Arrange artfully: Place the asparagus spears vertically on a serving plate and arrange the chopped egg mixture on top in a visually appealing manner.
Garnish: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, chopped nuts, or crispy shallots over the asparagus for a flavorful and decorative touch.
Drizzle with sauces: Serve with a drizzle of lemon-herb vinaigrette, hollandaise sauce, or melted butter.

Additional Tips:

Select fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
Trim the asparagus: Remove the woody ends of the asparagus spears before steaming.
Steam until tender: Steam the asparagus until it is bright green and tender, but still has a slight crunch.
Don’t overcook the eggs: Hard-boiled eggs will become rubbery when mixed with the hot asparagus. Use slightly soft-boiled or soft-boiled eggs for a more tender result.
