Egg Recipes out of Suzanne's Kitchen #1 : Poached Eggs

POACHED EGG RECIPES:

A poached egg is one of my personal favorites.  When poaching you only have the taste of the egg, and not any greasiness like in frying. 

Bring a pot of water (half filled) to the boil; add 5ml salt and 30ml white vinegar.  Make sure the water is simmering and not rapidly boiling.  Carefully break the egg in a teacup, make sure the yolk stay whole.  Slowly lower the cup into the water, until the egg is floating around freely.  Leave the egg to cook to your like.  Some literature will suggest that you should swirl the water with a whisk, to make sure the egg keep its round shape.  Poaching is a technique that one must practice to find your own personal touch. 

A poached egg on toast

Spread some of your favorite pesto(sundried tomato –my favorite) or melted cheese on toast, add poached egg, finish off with fresh rocket leaves, and a light vinaigrette or a balsamic reduction.  This can be a fantastic fast lunch.
