Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces egg
- 3 pieces vine-ripened tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 8 cups water
- 4 slices crusty bread
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with 8 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the eggs hold their shape while poaching.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure they’re clean and intact.
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide one egg at a time into the center. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat for the other eggs.
While the eggs are poaching, prepare the seasoned tomatoes. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Chop 3 vine-ripened tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
Cook the tomatoes for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Tear 10 fresh basil leaves and stir them into the tomatoes just before removing the skillet from heat.
Toast 4 slices of crusty bread to golden brown and place them on serving plates.
Spoon the seasoned tomatoes over the bread slices and top each with a poached egg.
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately.
