Easy peazy Poached Eggs

What is needed

Farm owned eggs 

Vinegar 

Cucumber 

Bananas 

How it was seasoned...

How it was made

Put sufficient water in a big pot

Bring water to an "almost boil" (simmer!) 

Add 2 tsp of vinegar (we used crystal vinegar 100% natural) The vinegar will help the egg whites sustain their shape. 

Crack egg(s) into a small cup or bowl of your choosing

Then use a whisker to swiftly rotate the water in a circular motion for about a minute

Gently place eggs in the centre of this awesome simmering tornado or as Joey likes to call it in Belgiumiese (Draaikolk... Say that 10x really fast.) 

Turn off the heat and leave it for 4 minutes

Lift eggs from the pot using a slotted spoon

You can dry it out by placing it on a paper towel, we didn't have any. 

Then place it on to your bread buns

Add banana to the side

Season

EAT. 

LOVE.

This was our first time poaching an egg, although the end result wasn't "perfect" it still looked pretty appetising and it tasted wonderful. Highly recommended as a healthy alternative to your regular fried egg. The dynamic of a nicely poached egg with multi-grain bread (fresh from the bakery) and small bits of banana was surprisingly flavourable. The cucumber, although aesthetically pleasing didn't fit into the overall taste of the meal, this can easily be replaced or taken out of the dish entirely. 

When it comes to poaching eggs, practice makes perfect!
