Dice the ciabatta into approximately 2 cm cubes. Peel the garlic cloves. Finely chop one clove, mix with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, oregano, and a pinch of salt, and mix with the bread cubes. Roast on a baking tray in the center of the oven at 200°C (180°C fan oven) for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Cook the eggs in boiling water for 8 minutes, refresh, peel, and roughly dice. Peel the lower third of the asparagus and trim 1 cm off the ends. Cook the asparagus, garlic clove, and tomatoes in boiling salted water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 100 ml of the cooking water. Finely chop the garlic clove and mix vigorously with the white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar, the cooking water, and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Add both to the vinaigrette along with the bread cubes and mix well. Season to taste. Roughly tear the basil leaves and carefully mix them with the eggs.
