Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons white vinegar
12 spears asparagus
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 large organic eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Fill a large saucepan two-thirds of the way with water. Add the white vinegar and bring to a boil.
  • Holding the tip and stem of each asparagus spear, snap the asparagus where it will naturally break. Discard the ends. Toss the asparagus with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and some salt.
  • Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat on the water until the bubbles in the water have subsided.
  • Gently crack and drop the eggs into the water. Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. When done, the whites will be cooked through and the yolks will be warm but still liquid.
  • Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the saucepan and blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel before plating the egg.
  • Remove the asparagus from the oven.
  • Divide the roasted asparagus spears on plates and top each set of asparagus with a poached egg. Sprinkle with the grated Parmigiano and a couple flakes crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with a few drops olive oil.
