Poached Eggs and Asparagus

"This is a family recipe my mother made for me growing up. My grandfather had several acres of asparagus on his farm, and this was something they served during the spring and fall whenever asparagus was plentiful. This recipe is also good served with warm breakfast ham or canadian bacon. You can just put in on before the egg. Top this masterpiece with another slice of toast to make a sandwich and eat it on the go. "
