Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 pieces Crumpets
- 15 grams Butter
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with water, leaving enough space to prevent it from boiling over, and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small ramekin or cup to ensure the yolk stays intact.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon, then carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. This helps the egg white wrap around the yolk for a neater poached egg.
Cook the egg for 3-4 minutes for a slightly runny yolk or up to 5 minutes for a firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the egg out and set it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat with the second egg.
While the eggs cook, lightly toast the crumpets until golden brown, then spread butter evenly over each warm crumpet.
Place a poached egg on top of each buttered crumpet.
Season the poached eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Poached Eggs on Crumpet!
