You can steam them, boil them, roast them, but I don’t think anything beats the flavor of asparagus that are simply grilled. The smoky flavor, the char marks. Tender, but still with a little crunch.

03 Method

Step 1

Light a grill and oil the grate. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt. Grill over moderate heat, turning until the asparagus is lightly charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to plates and keep warm.
Step 2

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the 1/4 cup of lemon juice and season with salt. Stir the water to create a vortex.
Step 3

Crack the eggs into 4 small bowls. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring gently in the same direction so they do not settle. Poach over moderate heat until the whites are set and the yolks are runny 3 minutes. Transfer the eggs to paper towels to drain briefly.
Step 4

Set the eggs on the asparagus. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest and cheese on top. Season generously with pepper and serve.
