Ingredients (per serving):

- 2 large eggs
- 6 asparagus spears
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to poach the eggs just before serving to ensure they are warm and runny.
- Don't overcook the asparagus, as it should still have a slight crunch.

Instructions:

1. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Add the white vinegar.
3. Crack the eggs into separate ramekins or small bowls.
4. Using a spoon, create a whirlpool in the simmering water and gently pour in the eggs one at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
5. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess water.
6. Arrange the asparagus on a plate and squeeze the lemon juice over them. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Place the poached eggs on top of the asparagus and serve immediately.
