But that sounds so easy... A recipe thread

A while back someone said I should post a dinner idea in the recipes thread, and I said I'd be embarrassed because it was so simple it was scarcely a recipe, and I didn't have one written down anyway. I have a lot of meals that I cook off the top of my head, but they really shouldn't be published - until now!
I think the only criteria for this thread is that the dish should have a relatively small list of ingredients, doesn't require any measuring utensils or kitchen devices (other than your hands and a knife), and you've cooked it the same way many times over the years. Preferably no convenience foods other than a tin of tomatoes, say, or a bag of pasta. A dish that, if you landed in a stranger's limited kitchen and needed to feed him/her/them, you could whip up from memory.
Vogue apple omelet: peel and core an apple and slice as for pie. Fry the slices in butter with salt and plenty of fresh ground pepper. Fold into a plain omelet. Variation: add brie or parmesan.
Summer Italian supper: Coat asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake in a very hot oven in an iron pan until it withers and crisps slightly. Remove to a plate. Fry an egg in the pan and top the asparagus with it. Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar, pour over, add some parmesan if you have it. Fresh baguette. Wine. Heaven.
