Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the asparagus and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove the asparagus and plunge into ice water to stop cooking.

In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer for poaching eggs.

Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water.

Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny.

While the eggs poach, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Drizzle lemon juice over the asparagus and toss to coat.

Arrange the asparagus on a plate and top with poached eggs.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Serve immediately, ensuring the yolks remain runny.
