Grilled green asparagus with poached egg and Parmesan – simple & sophisticated
Green asparagus is one of the highlights of spring cuisine – and it's especially aromatic when grilled. In this quick and elegant recipe, crisp, grilled asparagus meets a perfectly poached egg, tangy Parmesan cheese, and fresh watercress. The combination of warm, roasted flavors and the delicate creaminess of the egg yolk makes this dish a true delight – ideal as a starter or light main course. With just a few ingredients and little effort, you can conjure up a dish that's not only visually impressive, but also flavorful.

Ingredients
2 bunches of green asparagus
1 egg
1 bowl of watercress
Parmesan
olive oil
salt and pepper
preparation
Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil.
Snap off the asparagus root at the natural breaking point. Toss in a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Crack the egg over a sieve and let the liquid part of the egg white drain off. This prevents the egg white from forming streaks. Pour the egg into a cup. It's now ready to poach.
The water temperature should be slightly below boiling point. Add the egg to the pot and poach for 3 minutes. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and carefully test the yolk. It should be runny, but not too runny. If it feels too runny, poach for another minute. Place the egg on a clean kitchen towel.
Grill the asparagus for 2 minutes on each side. Arrange on a serving platter. Place the egg on top and garnish with watercress. Grate Parmesan cheese over the dish and finish with a few drops of olive oil.
