Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 slice Gluten-free bread
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vinegar (optional, for poaching)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter or dairy-free spread (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a small saucepan or deep skillet with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not let the water boil as this can break apart the egg.
Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the water if desired; this helps the egg whites stay together while poaching.
Crack a fresh egg into a small bowl or ramekin to make it easier to pour into the water.
Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. This technique helps the whites wrap around the yolk.
Let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or slightly longer for a firmer yolk. Carefully remove the egg with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess water.
While the egg is poaching, toast your slice of gluten-free bread to your desired level of crispiness.
Spread butter or a dairy-free spread onto the toasted bread, if desired.
Place the poached egg on top of the toast. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg for seasoning.
Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley, chives, or dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free toast with poached egg!
