Preparation instructions

Bring a large frying pan of salted water to the boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp. Transfer the asparagus to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add the vinegar to the water in pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Use a spoon to stir the water to make a whirlpool. Carefully pour the egg into the centre of the whirlpool. Cook for 4 minutes for a soft yolk or until cooked to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining eggs. Divide the asparagus among serving plates. Top with an egg. Season with salt and pepper. Top with parmesan and a sprinkle of paprika to serve.
