Asparagus Grilled Cheese with Poached Egg Recipe

This asparagus grilled cheese with poached egg is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. The combination of melted cheese, tender asparagus, and runny poached egg is divine.

Ingredients

2 slices of bread
Season with salt and pepper to taste
2 slices of cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
6 spears of asparagus

Time Needed

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Instructions

Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and blanch them for 1-2 minutes in boiling salted water.
Set aside after draining.
Toast the bread until lightly golden, then top each slice with a slice of cheese.
Top with the blanched asparagus spears and season with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, place the asparagus grilled cheese sandwiches on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the vinegar while the sandwiches are cooking.
Crack the egg into a small bowl and carefully drop it into the pot of boiling water.
Poach the egg for 3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and place it on a paper towel to drain excess water.
Place the poached egg on top of the asparagus and cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with the remaining slice of bread, cut in half, and serve immediately.
