Asparagus and poached egg puff tarts with parmesan and basil

11 ingredients 30 min + 30 min Serves 6 openrecipes

A simple method for perfect poached egg is to have just a little water barely bubbling in a sauté pan then simply slide in the eggs and leave them to cook for a short while. The stiller water and the gentleness of adding them to the pan means that the eggs stay intact giving you an egg with a perfect poach.
