Roasted Asparagus With Poached Egg And Lemon-Mustard Sauce
- 1 bunch thin asparagus
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves, plus additional for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon Colman's mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 eggs
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0 F. On a rimmed baking pan, arrange asparagus in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast 10 to 12 minutes or until asparagus is tender.
- In small saucepan, heat cream over medium-high heat until just simmering. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until cream is reduced to 1/2 cup, or is a thickened, saucy consistency. Remove from heat; whisk in lemon juice, butter, tarragon, lemon zest, mustard powder, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Keep in a warm spot on your stove.
- Fill a high-sided skillet with water; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat so that water is just barely bubbling. Add vinegar to water. Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin and slide egg into water. Poach 3 to 4 minutes or until whites are cooked through but yolk is still soft. Remove eggs from pan and drain on paper towel.
- Divide asparagus between plates. Top with poached eggs and drizzle with sauce; garnish with additional tarragon.
