Asparagus with Poached Egg
This is a nice, healthy and easy breakfast to make. I love hollandaise sauce on my eggs and asparagus but that’s a very rich sauce full of tonnes of butter which is ok occasionally but today I opted for something on the healthier side. I like my eggs poached over easy and then I don’t miss the sauce.
