Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
-
Fill a shallow pan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar and stir to create a whirlpool effect. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the asparagus and toss to coat.
-
Divide the asparagus among plates and top each with a poached egg. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!
