Poached egg

Ingredients

  • whole wheat bread
  • 1 to 2 eggs per person
  • 1 tsp vinegar per egg
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1Use cookie cutters to cut pre-sliced whole wheat bread into stars or other fun shapes. Toast and butter lightly.

2Crack 1 to 2 eggs per person into small ramekins and pour 1 tsp of vinegar overtop of each egg. The vinegar helps hold the egg together.

3Fill a large wide pot or deep sauté pan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn heat down to low so you can just see small bubbles rising from the bottom of the pan to the surface of the water. Use a spoon to stir the water in a circle, then empty one ramekin at a time into the centre of the “whirlpool.” Let eggs poach for 3 to 4 min or until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still liquid. Remove eggs from the water with a slotted spoon.

4Blot eggs with a paper towel to remove traces of water. Place on top of toast and sprinkle with salt and pepper
