Asparagus with Poached Egg image

A poached egg on a pile of tender steamed asparagus is a fine meal; a shaving of hard aged cheese, such as Parmesan, is an added treat -- and don't forget freshly ground pepper.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and peeled
4 large eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, thinly shaved
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Tie asparagus into a bundle using kitchen twine. Place in the basket of an asparagus pot filled with 1 inch water. Cover, and bring water to a boil. Steam asparagus until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  • Fill a large saucepan with 4 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. When water is barely simmering, break 1 egg into a small heatproof bowl. Gently tip bowl, sliding egg carefully into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are set but yolks are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels, and drain briefly.
  • Divide asparagus among 4 plates, and top each with an egg. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hollandaise sauce didn't turn out right. It was too thick and gloopy.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more salt and pepper next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for me. The hollandaise sauce was very heavy and the poached eggs were a bit too runny. I think I'll try making this dish again with a lighter sauce.

The asparagus was a little overcooked for my taste, but the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce were delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the asparagus for a shorter amount of time.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. The asparagus is always tender and flavorful, and the poached eggs are always cooked perfectly. The hollandaise sauce is also very good, although I sometimes add a little extra lemon juice
