Simple, seasonal, cheap, delicious. 'Nuff said.
Ingredients
  • 6-8 asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off
  • splash of vinegar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices of wholegrain or sourdough bread (use gluten free if needed)
  • grated Parmesan, optional (ensure it is vegetarian if needed)
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add a splash of vinegar.
  2. Crack the eggs into two small ramekins and season, then plop into the pan of boiling water. Simmer and leave to cook for 3-4 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until hot, then toss in the asparagus spears. It should make a pleasing sizzling sound. Cook the asparagus until slightly softened but still with a slight bite, and covered in gorgeous blackened lines.
  4. Toast your bread and plate up with a good spread of butter, 3-4 asparagus spears each, and topped with the poached eggs, Parmesan and seasoning. Serve hot, ideally with a glass of chilled white wine when the kids are in bed!
