Poached eggs
Serves:1 Adult
Poaching is a great alternative to frying; it is quick and easy with the same great taste and none of the added fat.
Ingredients
- 250 ml Boiling water
- 1 tsp (about 5 ml) white vinegar
- 2 medium eggs, at room temperature, so they cook quickly
- 2 slices wholemeal bread
- 10 g low fat spread
- Black pepper to taste
Method
- Put the boiling water into a saucepan or frying pan, add vinegar and bring back to the boil. With a spoon stir the water in a circular motion.
- Break the eggs into the boiling water, as close to the top of the water as you can. This prevents the water splashing up and hitting your hand.
- Simmer gently until the eggs are set, this takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking toast the bread. Once toasted spread with the low-fat spread and serve with the eggs.
- Season to taste.
