Poached Eggs On Toast And More Recipes

POACHED EGGS & AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Poach eggs using your favourite method.
• Meanwhile cut the avocados in half and remove the stones.
• Using a spoon scoop out the flesh into a bowl and add the lemon or lime juice and the salt & pepper.
• Mash roughly using a fork.
• Toast the bread and spread with butter.
• Spread the avocado mix onto each slice of buttered toast and top each with a poached egg.
• Sprinkle over the grated cheese and serve immediately.
• These are also nice with either fresh or grilled tomato halves on the side.

POACHED EGGS AND WILD MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss quickly, cover, and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet. Fill the skillet with water and heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear on the bottom. Stir in the vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. One at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and very carefully slide them into the water. Poach over medium heat until the whites are just firm and the yolks are runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, toast and butter the bread and then transfer to plates. Stir the basil into the mushrooms and spoon onto the toasts. Carefully slide the poached eggs onto the toasts over the mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with a knife and fork.

NIF'S PERFECT POACHED EGG

Steps:

• In a frying pan, heat enough water to cover the egg(s) to a low boil. Add salt.
• Crack an egg into a small bowl. Quickly dip bowl into the water. Slide the raw egg into the water. Immediately slide the other egg into the water in the same fashion.
• TURN OFF HEAT but leave on burner! Cover pan with lid - DO NOT UNCOVER and let sit for 4 to 6 minutes. You can uncover to check them, starting at 4 minutes. You'll know they're done if the white is not really jiggly.
• Using a slotted spoon, gently place eggs on a tea towel. If you use scented detergents or fabric softeners on your towels, do not use them. Instead, slide egg(s) onto good quality paper towels, so the towel doesn't fall apart. Let sit for a few seconds to drain the water.
• Place eggs on to toast, a slice of tomato, steamed spinach and/or a piece of low fat cheese.
