INGREDIENTS
4 large eggs
2 egg whites
6 asparagus spears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them lightly with half a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, fill a medium saucepan with water, bring it to a gentle simmer, and add a splash of vinegar if desired to help the eggs set.
Break the eggs and carefully separate using a spoon if needed. Poach the eggs, one or two at a time, in simmering water for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside on a warm plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and the remaining olive oil until a silky sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the roasted asparagus and gently place the poached eggs on top. Drizzle the silky lemon-herb sauce over the eggs and asparagus. Serve immediately while warm.
