Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, etc.)
- Fresh chives (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter (optional for toast)
Instructions:
-
Toast the bread:
- Start by toasting the bread to your desired level of crispness. You can lightly butter the toast for added flavor, if preferred.
-
Poach the eggs:
- Fill a medium saucepan with water (about 3 inches deep) and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add a small splash of vinegar (optional) to help the egg whites set.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl (this makes it easier to slide into the water).
- Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water, one at a time. Poach the eggs for 3–4 minutes for soft, runny yolks. Adjust the time if you prefer firmer yolks.
- Once done, use a slotted spoon to gently remove the eggs from the water. Place them on a paper towel to drain.
-
Assemble the dish:
- Place the toasted bread on a plate.
- Gently place a poached egg on top of each slice of toast.
-
Season and garnish:
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor.
-
Serve:
- Slice the toast if desired and enjoy the warm, runny yolk paired with the crispy toast!
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with avocado slices or a side of fresh salad for a fuller breakfast or brunch.
Enjoy
