2. Combine the mustard, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl.

3. Heat the frying oil. Beat the eggs in a bowl, salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs in a second plate. Roll the asparagus in the eggs, then in the breadcrumbs.

5. Divide the asparagus among 4 plates. Serve warm with the sauce on the side.
