Method
- Cut the crusts from three slices of plain white bread until each one weighs about 15g and then toast until just browned.
- Poach the eggs until the outside is done but the yolk is still soft.
- Make up the hollandaise sauce with the skimmed milk. (Note that the instructions on the packet include butter but this is not needed for this recipe.)
- Boil the asparagus until it is starting to soften.
- For each serving, place the bread on a plate, arrange the asparagus spears on top of the bread and then top with the egg. Pour over a third of the sauce and top with freshly ground black pepper.
