They seem to impossibly fragile, which explains why I&#8217;m always impressed that anyone could make it from pan to plate without busting one wide open on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Poached eggs are not difficult to make. That seems like an unreasonable statement but it is true. Once you learn how to make them you&#8217;ll want to perch a poached egg on top of everything. Brown rice, zoodles, wilted greens, just about anything can be made more delicious with a poached egg on top.<\/p>\n<p>This dish is no exception. It&#8217;s is the kind of dish you&#8217;ll want to photograph once it&#8217;s plated, or at least your guests will. Asparagus and eggs aren&#8217;t limited to breakfast, especially when they are as aesthetically pleasing as these.  \u00a0They hold up to brunch, lunch, or even try it as a hearty dinner side dish.  \u00a0Go ahead, get wild with it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are a poached egg pro, you&#8217;ll want to try our other delish dishes featuring perfect poached eggs:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;
