Asparagus, Feta & Poached Egg Toast Recipe
Freshly chopped herbs add a vibrant burst of flavour to this asparagus, feta & poached egg toast, making it a truly delicious and wholesome dish. The combination of creamy feta, perfectly poached eggs, and tender asparagus on crispy, rustic bread creates a satisfying balance of textures and flavour.
Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast, a leisurely brunch, or a light yet filling lunch or dinner, this recipe is a fantastic way to celebrate the fresh flavours of spring. If you enjoy asparagus as much as I do, you might also love my grilled asparagus salad or asparagus bruschetta, both of which highlight this seasonal vegetable beautifully.
For the base, I love using thick slices of sourdough bread, as its hearty texture and slightly tangy flavour pair wonderfully with the rest of the ingredients. However, feel free to choose any thick, crusty bread that holds up well to the toppings and runny egg yolk.
If you’ve ever struggled with poaching eggs, don’t worry—it’s easier than it seems! Just follow the instructions below, and you’ll get perfectly poached eggs every time. The key is to use the freshest eggs possible, as they hold their shape better in the water. Personally, I tend to slightly overcook mine, but if you prefer a beautifully runny yolk, keep an eye on the timing and gently remove them as soon as they’re ready.
