Grilled Asparagus with Pecorino and Meyer Lemon-Poached Eggs

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grate
• 1 pound thin asparagus
• Salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh Meyer lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon finely grated Meyer lemon zest (see Note)
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Locatelli Pecorino cheese
• Freshly ground pepper

1. Light a grill and oil the grate.
2. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt.
3. Grill over moderate heat, turning, until the asparagus are lightly charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Transfer the asparagus to plates and keep warm.
5. Crack the eggs into 4 small bowls.
6. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer.
7. Add the 1/4 cup of lemon juice and season with salt.
8. Stir the water to create a vortex.
9. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring gently in the same direction so they do not settle.
10. Poach over moderate heat until the whites are set and the yolks are runny, 3 minutes.
11. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to paper towels to drain briefly.
12. Set the eggs on the asparagus.
13. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest and cheese on top.
14. Season generously with pepper and serve.
