Poached Eggs

You will need: 2 eggs vinegar iceberg salad red capsicum snow pea sprouts alfalfa cherry tomatoes salt and pepper to taste

Start with preparing your salad. You can use whatever ingredients you have available. I've used sliced iceberg salad and topped it with slices of capsicum, some snow pea sprouts and alfalfa, as well as cherry tomatoes. I'm not using any dressing because the egg yolk will run into the salad and add the flavor.

In a small saucepan, bring water to the boil. Add a few tablespoons of vinegar and reduce the heat. Crack each egg into a small bowl and let them glide softly into the water. It takes only a few minutes for them to cook. Gently lift each egg out of the water. The egg yolk should still be soft when lightly pressed. Drip excess water onto a paper towel and lower the egg softly onto the salad. Enjoy!
