Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:
300g asparagus
2 tsp olive oil, for drizzling
pinch of salt
2 free-range eggs
black pepper
PREPARATION:
Heat the grill to its highest setting.
Snap off and discard the woody ends of the asparagus.
Lay the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle the oil over it.
Sprinkle with the salt and toss well to coat.
Grill for 8 minutes, checking the spears halfway through the cooking time and giving them a shake so they cook evenly.
Poach the eggs in boiling water for 3 minutes so that the white is set but the yolk runny.
Place the asparagus on serving plates and put an egg on top of each serving.

In case you desire to give it a lift, opt for a MISO Hollandaise sauce on the side.
Miso hollandaise is made without butter, but has all the creamy richness of the French classic.
