Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheddar Poached Eggs with Asparagus on Toast.
Step 1
Start by filling a saucepan halfway with water and bringing it to a lively boil.
Step 2
If you’re using a chicken bouillon cube, stir it in now until it dissolves completely, adding a lovely depth of flavor to your poached eggs.
Step 3
Next, crack an egg into a measuring cup or a large spoon, and gently slide it into the bubbling water.
Step 4
Repeat this with the remaining eggs, watching them transform into delicate poached wonders.
Step 5
Let them simmer for about five minutes over medium heat, then carefully lift them out with a slotted spoon and keep them warm while you prepare the rest of your dish.
Step 6
In another saucepan, place your trimmed asparagus and cover it with water.
Step 7
Bring it to a boil and cook until the asparagus is tender, which should take around four minutes.
Step 8
Once cooked, drain the asparagus and set it aside, letting its vibrant green color shine.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to toast your whole wheat bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
Step 10
Once toasted, spread a generous layer of butter on each slice, allowing it to melt into the warm bread.
Step 11
For the finishing touch, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each piece of toast, followed by a perfectly poached egg and a handful of the tender asparagus.
Step 12
Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste, and serve your delightful creation immediately.
Step 13
Enjoy this deliciously satisfying meal that’s not only a feast for the eyes but also a treat for your taste buds!.
