Ingredients

  

• extra virgin olive oil
• 6 spears fresh asparagus
• 2 large fresh eggs
• optional: parmesan cheese, greens

Instructions

 

• Bring a pan of water just to the boil then reduce to a light simmer.
• Heat a griddle pan on a high heat.
  
• Rinse the asparagus and pat dry. Snap the woody ends off and char grill them with a dash of olive oil for a few minutes on each side.
  
• While the asparagus is grilling, poach the eggs in the water for around 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove the cooked eggs and drain each egg, in the spoon on a paper towel, then place egg on top of the grilled asparagus.
  
• To serve – grate some fresh parmesan on top – or if you prefer, freshly ground black pepper.
  

Notes

• This recipe can also use steamed asparagus, and eggs can be fried if you prefer a crunchy texture.
• Serve on fresh toast for a more substantial breakfast.
