Poached Eggs On Toast Recipes

POACHED EGGS ON TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Lightly grease a deep skillet, or a saucepan. (I spray the skillet or saucepan with a no-stick cooking spray.)
• 2. Add 1-inch of water to the skillet, but if using the saucepan, add 1-1/2-inches of water.
• 3. To the water, add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt; then heat water just to boiling.
• 4. Break eggs into 2 separate custard dishes.
• 5. When the water comes to a boil, carefully slip the eggs into the skillet or saucepan.
• 6. Cover the pan or skillet, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
• 7. Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon or pancake turner.
• 8. Serve poached eggs on buttered toast, then season with black pepper and a light sprinkle of dried parsley flakes.

GOOD OL' POACHED EGGS ON TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Place about 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low as soon as water starts to boil. Add the vinegar to the water.
• 2. Break each egg carefully, so as not to break the yolk, into a separate cup and carefully add each to the water. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes.
• 3. Remove eggs from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels while the bread is toasting.
• 4. Butter the toast and, again with a slotted spoon, lay each egg atop a slice of buttered toast. Salt and pepper to your taste.
• 5. NOTE: The addition of vinegar to the water helps the whites of the eggs firm up and not spread out into the water.

POACHED EGGS ON AVOCADO & FETA TOAST

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water, add the vinegar and bring to a hard boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat so the water is simmering, then use a spoon to swirl the water into a whirlpool. Crack in both eggs and cook for 2 1/2 mins.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the avocado, feta, chilli flakes and lemon juice, and season well with black pepper. Toast the bread.
• Pile the avocado and feta on the toast, then put a poached egg on top of each.

MICROWAVE POACHED EGG ON TOAST

Steps:

• Place the toast on a plate, butter it, flatten the middle down with the back of a fork.
• Crack and carefully pour the egg into the flattened middle of the toast, not allowing it to spill over into the plate.
• Prick the yolk quickly and carefully with the tines of the fork and bake in the microwave on a turntable for about 1 minute on 60-70% power, until the white is cooked through or desired doneness is achieved.
