Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat the oven to broil. Toss the asparagus on a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste; spread them in a single layer. Grill, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4-6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Bring the water in a saucepan to a boil. Add the egg and reduce the heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the egg and transfer it to a bowl of ice water.
- Peel the egg and place it in a blender. Add the garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan, and mustard and blend until smooth. With the blender running, add the remaining 8 tablespoons of olive oil and blend until thick and creamy. Add the crushed peppercorns. Drizzle the lemon-pepper sauce over the asparagus and sprinkle with additional Parmesan.
