  • dash of white vinegar
  • 2 very fresh eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends removed
  • 2 cups arugula

  • juice of one lemon

How to Make this Arugula and Asparagus Breakfast Bowl

  • Crack the eggs into individual ramekins or small bowls. 
  • Boil at least six cups of water in a large pot, reduce to a heavy simmer and use a spoon to create a whirlpool. Add the vinegar.
  • Drop one egg into the center of the whirlpool and let cook for three minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a piece of paper towel. 
  • Add the second egg to the pot and repeat the process. 
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-size frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. 
  • Add the asparagus and cook for at least 6 to 7 minutes or until tender. Use tongs to move it often so all sides of the asparagus are cooked. 
  • Add one cup of arugula, half the asparagus, and one egg to each bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon juice and serve immediately.
