Steps:
- Blend extra-virgin olive oil, chives, and lemon juice in blender or processor until smooth. Stir in grated lemon peel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Chive oil can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Return to room temperature before using.
- Fill 2 large bowls with ice water and ice; set aside. Pour enough water into each of 2 large skillets to reach depth of 1 inch. Bring water to slow simmer over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons vinegar to each skillet. Carefully crack each egg into individual ramekins. Gently slide 1 egg at a time into simmering water, working in batches of 3 eggs for each skillet. Cook until whites are just set, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, very gently transfer eggs to bowls with ice water, being careful not to break eggs. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate eggs in bowls of ice water.
- Preheat broiler. Spread asparagus in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil; turn asparagus to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil asparagus 6 minutes. Turn asparagus over and continue to broil until crisp-tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes longer. Divide asparagus among 6 plates and drape prosciutto slices over.
- Pour enough water into each of 2 large skillets to reach depth of 1 inch; bring to simmer. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to skillets; cook 1 minute for soft yolks. Using slotted spoon, place 1 or 2 eggs atop each serving of asparagus and prosciutto. Drizzle chive oil over and around each serving. Pass remaining chive oil separately.

Tips:
- For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs that are at room temperature. Bring the poaching liquid to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs.
- To prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan, swirl the poaching liquid gently with a spoon before adding the eggs. Alternatively, you can use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the eggs out of the poaching liquid.
- To achieve a runny yolk, poach the eggs for 2-3 minutes. For a medium-cooked yolk, poach for 4-5 minutes. For a hard-cooked yolk, poach for 6-7 minutes.
- To make the chive oil, use fresh chives and extra virgin olive oil. Blend the chives and oil together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When roasting the asparagus, toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
- To assemble the dish, place the poached eggs on top of the roasted asparagus. Drizzle with chive oil and garnish with prosciutto and chives.
