Perfect Poached Eggs Recipe by Jette Virdi

Follow my simple steps for a perfectly poached eggs every time! I served the poached eggs with roasted spring greens; I used purple sprouting broccoli, asparagus and baby turnips, which are gorgeously sweet when roasted. A perfect dish for brunch, or a light Spring or Summer meal.

Poached Eggs:

1. Fresh eggs! This is really important as the fresher the egg the better the poach
2. Boiling water and vinegar: Bring your water up to a boil and then keep it on a simmer, pour in a little vinegar which will help to keep the egg white together.
3. Give the water a swirl to create a little whirlpool and pour your egg that you’ve cracked into the cup into the whirlpool
4. Make sure the water is at a rolling simmer, not boil!
5. Break the egg into a cup; again, this helps contain the egg. Gently pour the egg into the water
6. Depending on how big the egg is, a soft poached egg should take about 40-59 secs. Check that the white is solid rather than runny and remove, give it a little jiggle to do this out if the water.

Roasted Spring greens:

– Season the vegetables with camelina oil, salt and pepper and place in a pre-heated oven at 180C whilst you’re poaching your eggs.

Serve the roasted vegetables together with the poached egg, and enjoy!
