Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 slice Low-carb bread
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with about 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water. This helps the egg whites coagulate more easily and create a neater poached egg.
Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not let it reach a rolling boil, as this will disrupt the eggs' shape.
While the water is heating, crack each egg into a small cup or bowl. This will make it easier to slide the eggs gently into the water.
When the water reaches a simmer, use a spoon to stir it in a circular motion to create a gentle whirlpool. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water helps keep the egg white close to the yolk.
Let the egg cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk and 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and gently place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess water.
Repeat the process with the second egg.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the slice of low-carb bread to your desired level of crispiness. Once toasted, spread 1 teaspoon of butter or olive oil over the bread.
Place the poached eggs on top of the toast.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a touch of color.
Serve immediately for a delicious low-carb breakfast.
