Method

Mix together all the dressing ingredients, season and set aside until needed.

Steam or boil the asparagus for 4-5 minutes or until just tender. Drain and arrange on 4 warmed plates.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in non-stick pan over a medium-low heat. Break in the eggs. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Add to the plates; drizzle over the dressing and serve at once.
