Poached Eggs with Asparagus

1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a splash of white vinegar.

2: Lower heat slightly, then using a wooden spatula twirl the water.

3: Crack an egg into a small shallow bowl or ramekin and gently lower it into the water.

4: Set the timer for 2.5 minutes (for runny eggs) or 4 minutes (for harder eggs).

5: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and place it on a piece of paper towel.

6: For the asparagus, wash and trim it.

7: Add asparagus to a frying pan with olive oil, salt, and pepper and cook until a little crispy.

8: Alternatively, add asparagus to a pot of boiling water and let it cook for 3 minutes, then remove and top with salt and pepper.

9: Optionally serve with a slice of sourdough and a drizzle of hot sauce.
