Title: Grilled Asparagus with Poached Eggs
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
– 1 bunch of fresh asparagus
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
– Fresh herbs for garnish (such as chives or parsley)
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. While the grill is heating, trim the tough ends of the asparagus.
3. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
4. Place the asparagus on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.
5. While the asparagus is grilling, fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
6. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
7. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and let them drain briefly on a paper towel.
8. Once the asparagus is grilled, arrange it on a plate and top with the poached eggs.
9. Drizzle with lemon juice if desired and garnish with fresh herbs.
