I came home last night with bunches of asparagus, and just wanted a quick and easy last dinner. I found this recipe and am so glad I did, it was just the thing I wanted..... quick, easy and so good. I quickly toasted some sour dough and poached an egg to serve on top of the asparagus with some butter as well..... and 1,2,3 .... Abracadabra a magical meal! Thanks Bergy!
