Ingredients
Herbed Mustard:
Method
Herbed Mustard: Stir together basil, mustard and mayonnaise; set aside.
In large saucepan or deep skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) water with vinegar over medium heat until simmering. Cooking eggs in batches of two to four, crack eggs, one at a time, into small bowl; gently slide into simmering water. Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
Using slotted spoon, transfer poached eggs to bowl of warm water; keep warm while cooking remaining batches. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towel–lined tray; blot dry.
Meanwhile, in pot of boiling lightly salted water, cook asparagus just until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; diagonally slice crosswise.
Spread one side of each toast with herbed mustard. Top with asparagus, poached eggs, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, then basil (if using). Serve immediately.
