Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
While the water is heating, use a fork to gently swirl the water in the pan to create a small whirlpool effect. This helps the egg whites to wrap around the yolk.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to make it easier to slide them into the saucepan. Carefully slide the eggs, one at a time, into the simmering water.
Poach the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft and runny.
While the eggs are poaching, toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown to your liking.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly over the warm toast slices.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the poached eggs from the water, letting any excess water drip back into the pan, and place them gently on top of the buttered toast.
Garnish the eggs with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh chives for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium poached eggs on toast.
