Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with foil. Place asparagus on foil; drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Roast for 10 minutes, shaking pan once halfway. Asparagus are finished when they are fragrant, slightly wrinkled, but still juicy. Set pan aside to cool.", "Meanwhile, toast baguette in a dry pan over medium low heat or in a toaster.", "Place bacon in a cool, dry skillet and cook over medium heat until golden crisp and fat is rendered. Remove from pan and allow pieces to drain on a paper towel lined plate.", "Make hard-cooked dressing by slicing egg in half and removing yolk. Grate yolk into a small bowl.
