Poached Eggs on Toast Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of bread (whole-grain, sourdough, or your choice)
- 1–2 tsp vinegar (optional, helps egg whites set)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or olive oil (optional, for spreading on toast)
- Optional toppings: avocado, spinach, smoked salmon, or herbs
Instructions
1. Toast the Bread
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
- Optionally, spread a thin layer of butter or olive oil.
2. Poach the Eggs
- Fill a saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add vinegar if using (1–2 tsp).
- Crack an egg into a small bowl.
- Stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool.
- Carefully slide the egg into the center.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes for a runny yolk, or 5 minutes for slightly firmer.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3. Assemble
- Place poached eggs on top of the toast.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional toppings like herbs, avocado, or a dash of hot sauce.
Tips
- Fresh eggs poach best—old eggs spread out in the water.
- Keep the water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, to avoid breaking the eggs.
- For multiple eggs, poach one at a time for best results.
