Cut whole grain bread into 1 inch thick slices and coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast the bread in the oven for 3-6 minutes to a light golden brown or crisp, but not burned.

EGGS:
Fry the eggs in a large nonstick sauté pan (cook 4 at a time max) and place a lid over the top to cook the eggs to over easy. Salt and pepper the eggs before placing the lid on.

To plate, place three blanched asparagus on each piece of toast then slide an egg on top; add Parmesan and garnish with micro greens.
