If you are looking for a simple and delicious breakfast idea, you should try this poached eggs recipe. It is easy to make, requires only a few ingredients, and tastes amazing. You will love how the runny yolk mixes with the buttery toast and the fresh parsley. It is a perfect way to start your day with some protein and energy.

Poaching eggs may sound intimidating, but it is actually very easy once you know the tricks. All you need is some water, vinegar, salt, and eggs. The vinegar helps the egg whites to hold their shape and the salt adds some flavor. The key is to create a gentle whirlpool in the water and slide the eggs in one by one. This way, the eggs will cook evenly and stay together.

You can adjust the cooking time according to your preference. I like my yolks runny, so I poach them for about 3 minutes. If you like them firmer, you can poach them for up to 5 minutes. You can also use a spoon or a knife to shape or trim the eggs as they cook. The result is a beautiful and tasty poached egg that you can lift out of the water with a slotted spoon.

To serve the poached eggs, you need some bread, butter, and parsley. You can toast the bread in a toaster or oven until it is golden and crisp. Then spread some butter over each slice and cut them in half diagonally. Place two halves on each plate and top them with a poached egg. You can also drizzle some of the poaching liquid over the eggs if you like. It adds some moisture and flavor to the dish.

To garnish the plates, you can use some fresh parsley if you have it. Just chop it finely and sprinkle it over the eggs and bread. It adds some color and freshness to the dish. You can also serve some fruit or juice on the side for a complete meal.

This poached eggs recipe is so easy and delicious that you will want to make it every morning. It is also very versatile and adaptable. You can use different kinds of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or bagel. Can also add some cheese, ham, bacon, or avocado to make it more filling and flavorful, or even make it into a sandwich or a wrap if you are on the go.

This poached eggs recipe is one of my favorite breakfasts ever. It is simple, satisfying, and scrumptious. It always makes me happy and energized for the day ahead. I hope you will try it too and enjoy it as much as I do.

Steps

1 Done 10 min	Prepare the water To prepare the water for poaching the eggs, you need to fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low and add the vinegar and a pinch of salt. The vinegar helps the egg whites to coagulate and form a nice shape. Stir the water gently to create a whirlpool. This will help the eggs to stay together and cook evenly. You can also use a spoon to shape the eggs as they cook if needed.
2 Done 10 min	Poach the eggs To poach the eggs, you need to crack one egg into a small bowl or cup and gently slide it into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the remaining eggs, one at a time, leaving some space between them. Poach the eggs for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 minutes for a firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs out of the water and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the eggs. You can also use a knife to trim any excess egg whites if you want a neater appearance.
3 Done 5 min	Toast the bread slices and assemble the dish To toast the bread slices, you can use a toaster or oven until they are golden and crisp. Spread some butter over each slice and cut them in half diagonally. Arrange two halves on each plate and top them with a poached egg. You can also drizzle some of the poaching liquid over the eggs if you like. This will add some moisture and flavor to the dish.
4 Done 5 min	Garnish the plates and serve To garnish the plates, you can use some fresh parsley if desired and chop it finely. Sprinkle some parsley over the eggs and bread and serve hot or warm.
