View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This asparagus salad topped with poached eggs is satisfying yet light, making it a nice option for lunch, brunch or even dinner with some crusty bread. Roasting brings out a toasty flavor in the asparagus. We like this salad with medium-set poached eggs so the yolks are still a little runny, but poach your eggs for the full 8 minutes if you prefer hard-set yolks. Source: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2011

If you don't want to fuss with that, dollop the batter on top however you like. Source: EatingWell Magazine, May/June 2016
