Roasted Asparagus and Poached Egg with Miso Butter

Roasted Asparagus with Poached Egg and Miso "Butter"

Adapted from David Chang. In place of butter, I used avocado in the Miso "Butter" Sauce. I simply roasted the asparagus in a toaster oven. Although typical poached egg recipes call for adding some vinegar to the water, I've never found it necessary.
