Poached eggs

Serves 1

• 2 slices of bread
• 2 fresh eggs
• ½ tsp white wine vinegar
• salt and pepper

Pour roughly 2cm of boiling water into a large frying pan and place it on a medium-low heat. Adjust the temperature so you have a gentle simmer.

Add a pinch of salt and the white wine vinegar to the water – this helps the eggs stay together.

Put your bread in the toaster!

Crack the eggs, one at a time, into a cup then carefully pour each egg into the simmering water.

Let the eggs poach until the edges of the white turns opaque. Gently splash water over the yolk and white with a slotted spoon.

Once the white is cooked, carefully lift the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and allow to drain a little.

Serve on buttered toast. You could dip in soldiers or asparagus as well!
