Great way to use off-season asparagus!
Serve with crusty bread.
Bring about 1 cup water to a boil. Cut the asparagus into 1 inch-long sections. Boil the asparagus until almost tender, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness. Drain and pat dry.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic and pancetta or bacon and sauté until the garlic begins to turn golden and the pork barely begins to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic; transfer the pancetta or bacon to paper towels to drain.
Drain off and discard about half of the drippings in the skillet. Return the skillet to medium heat, add the asparagus and cook, stirring and scrapping the bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon, for about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, return the pancetta or bacon to the skillet and crack the eggs atop the asparagus, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of cheese and a generous pinch of pepper on top of each egg. Cover and steam until the egg whites are firm and the cheese has melted, 3-4 minutes.
Using a spatula, transfer the eggs to individual warmed plates and serve immediately. Pass the remaining cheese on the side.
