Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh duck eggs
- 2 liters Water
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Fresh arugula
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized pot with 2 liters of water. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
While waiting for the water to simmer, prepare the plates with arugula: Divide 2 cups of fresh arugula between two plates as a bed for the poached eggs.
Cut 1 large avocado in half, remove the pit, slice the flesh and arrange the slices around the arugula on each plate.
Once the water has reached a gentle simmer, carefully crack one large duck egg into a small cup or bowl without breaking the yolk.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring it with a spoon. Carefully slide the duck egg from the cup into the center of the whirlpool. This helps the egg white wrap around itself.
Poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the egg from the water and drain it on a paper towel.
Repeat the poaching process with the remaining duck eggs.
Place two poached duck eggs on each plate, atop the arugula and avocado.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and drizzle over the eggs and salad.
Finish with a sprinkle of 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper over the poached eggs and salad for seasoning.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious Keto-friendly breakfast or brunch option.
