Step 1
Cut carrots into thin rounds. Cut asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and cook 4 minutes until starting to soften.
Step 3
Add asparagus and peas, cook 3 minutes until vegetables are tender but still bright.
Step 4
Pour in cream and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes until sauce coats vegetables.
Step 5
Bring a small pot of salted water to a bare simmer. Crack eggs into shallow cups, then slide gently into water.
Step 6
Poach eggs 3–4 minutes until whites set but yolks still jiggle. Transfer to vegetable mixture with a slotted spoon.
Step 7
Divide vegetables and sauce between plates. Top each with a poached egg. Finish with fresh cracked pepper.
