Step 1 of 18

Here are the happy ingredients: asparagus, eggs, mushroom & lemon :-)

Step 2 of 18

Asparagus dressing: Some butter, drops of lemon, salt & pepper

Step 3 of 18

Boil the asparagus for 5 minutes then mix with dressing

Step 4 of 18

Spread clean cling film on a surface & spread a few drops of oil all around till it's lightly covered

Step 5 of 18

Transfer it to a deep bowl making sure it takes the shape of the bowl

Step 6 of 18

Crack the egg inside

Step 7 of 18

Carefully tie the cling film making sure its secure

Step 8 of 18

Gently lower egg pouches into boiling water

Step 9 of 18

The whites will start to cook & stiffen

Step 10 of 18

Keep turning it around very carefully to cook all sides making sure you don't rip the pouch

Step 11 of 18

About 6 minutes it's firm with runny yolks. If you want your yolks hard let it boil a few minutes more

Step 12 of 18

Take it out with a slotted spoon

Step 13 of 18

Rest on counter or plate

Step 14 of 18

Gently slit the wrap using a knife. Make a slit large enough for the egg to slide out. Handle with care, as the yolk is still runny!

Step 15 of 18

Add some butter to a pan & sauté sliced mushrooms. Add salt & pepper (I also added chopped parsley at the end)

Step 16 of 18

Perfect poached egg!

Step 17 of 18

One word: Divine!

Step 18 of 18

Hard crust bread goes very well with it, I had none so I had fries. Enjoy! ^_^

You're Done!

You might want to know however, the chemicals in the plastic will leach into your food when heated. ... Sorry for the bummer post but thought you should know.
