Mixed chopped herbs give this Asparagus, Feta & Poached Egg Toast some delicious flavours.

Quick and easy, this is a perfect Spring recipe for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even a light dinner.

I am a big fan of sourdough bread which gives the perfect rustic twist to this poached egg toast, but of course you can pick any other bread as long as it is thick and crusty!

If you are unsure about how to poach the eggs, just follow the instructions below. It is in fact very straightforward. The only thing to remember is that the fresher the egg the better. My tendency is to overcook them slightly.

small handful of almonds (roughly chopped)
zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
1 tsp chopped mint leaves
1 tsp chopped parsley

Put the grill on.

To make the poached eggs, crack the first egg and place in a ramekin.
Whisk the water to create a gentle whirpool.
Delicately place the egg into the simmering water.
Poach the first egg for around 2-3 minutes.
Remove poached egg with a perforated spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
