Umami flavor from miso is a perfect complement to asparagus. Then tying the two flavors together is a poached egg. Although this is presented as a side dish, it is rich and so flavorful that it easily carries out the role of a main.

For me, the amount of miso butter is too much for the asparagus. However, a bit of bread to mop it up might have been perfect.

This was lovingly prepared by my dh for mothers day.
