Poached Egg on Salad

There comes a time in a persons life when you are starving and the fridge just does not want to give you anything inspiring. For times like these, I always have some fresh eggs and salad in the fridge.  Many people are scared to make poached eggs because it seems to be such a difficult task, but with just a tiny bit of practise anyone can do it.

1 Fresh Egg at room temperature
2 Cups of leafy greens
2 Cherry tomatoes.
1 Small slice of cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp Vinegar

3Tbsp Olive Oil
1Tbsp White balsamic vinegar
Mustard
Honey
Salt
Pepper

Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
 
meanwhile make a vinaigrette out of the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper by whisking everything together.

Chop the greens and tomatoes and place in salad bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette onto the salad.

Once the water is boiling crack the egg into a small bowl and add 1Tbsp of vinegar to the water. This will bring the boiling water down to a simmer.

Here comes the tricky part:
 Take spatula and start to rotate the water clockwise. While the water is moving gently slip the egg into the water. Use the spatula to gently nudge the egg into place. The eggwhite should be intact and around the yolk like a nest. Let it sit in the hot water for about 2-3 Minutes. Gently lift the egg out of the water and let any excess water drip of. Place onto salad and top with cheddar cheese. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and serve.

Enjoy
