Method

Step 1

Add the asparagus to a pan of boiling water and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender.

Step 2

Add the vinegar to a large pan of boiling water, gently crack the eggs into it and poach for 3–4 minutes.

Step 3

Split and toast the muffins under a preheated grill, then spread with a little cream cheese. Halve each muffin again, creating 4 semi-circles. Arrange the muffins on two plates, then divide the ham and the asparagus between each. Top each muffin with a poached egg, season and serve.

Recipe tips

You could make this dish with spinach or a grilled large, flat mushroom, instead of asparagus.
Wholemeal muffins make great bases for mini pizzas, which are ideal for children's meals.
'At risk' groups such as infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who are unwell should avoid soft/lightly cooked and raw eggs, unless they can guarantee that they are produced under the Lion code quality assurance scheme.
