Method

  1. Cut the crusts from three slices of plain white bread until each one weighs about 15g and then toast until just browned.
  2. Poach the eggs until the outside is done but the yolk is still soft.
  3. 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.)
  4. Boil the asparagus until it is starting to soften.
  5. 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.
