Poached eggs, asparagus, and ham are a beautiful combination of flavors, and this dish is truly a wonderful, hearty way to start off your day. This recipe is also easy to scale up for a crowd in case you're having a few people over for a midday brunch. To get that crisp-tender texture for the asparagus, instead of heating it up in a skillet, we recommend microwaving it with a little bit of water, which helps to eliminate the possibility of overcooking it. Arrange the cooked ham and asparagus on some toast, then top with the perfectly poached eggs, and you're all ready to go.
