Poached Eggs On Toast And More Food

POACHED EGGS ON TOAST WITH RAMPS

Steps:

• Cut dark-green leaves from ramps and slice crosswise 1" thick; slice bulbs and red stems crosswise 1/4" thick.
• Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add bulbs and stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, 5-8 minutes. Add tops and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 2" water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat so water is at a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until whites of eggs in water are opaque before adding the next egg (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels as they are done.
• Toast bread, brush with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with kosher salt. Spread toasts with goat cheese and top with ramps and eggs. Drizzle with more oil and season with sea salt and pepper.

EASY POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• In a 12-inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and sides of pan. Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolks). When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
• Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water. If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving.

POACHED EGGS AND WILD MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss quickly, cover, and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet. Fill the skillet with water and heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear on the bottom. Stir in the vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. One at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and very carefully slide them into the water. Poach over medium heat until the whites are just firm and the yolks are runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, toast and butter the bread and then transfer to plates. Stir the basil into the mushrooms and spoon onto the toasts. Carefully slide the poached eggs onto the toasts over the mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with a knife and fork.

POACHED EGGS & AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Poach eggs using your favourite method.
• Meanwhile cut the avocados in half and remove the stones.
• Using a spoon scoop out the flesh into a bowl and add the lemon or lime juice and the salt & pepper.
• Mash roughly using a fork.
• Toast the bread and spread with butter.
• Spread the avocado mix onto each slice of buttered toast and top each with a poached egg.
• Sprinkle over the grated cheese and serve immediately.
• These are also nice with either fresh or grilled tomato halves on the side.

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.

REUBEN TOAST WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• On a large baking sheet, toast the bread for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom.
• Fill a large deep skillet about halfway with water and heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear on the bottom.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Season the sauce generously with salt and pepper.
• Stir the vinegar and a generous pinch of salt into the hot water in the skillet. One at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and very carefully slide them into the water. Poach over medium heat until the whites are just firm and the yolks are runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, top each toast with a slice and a half of cheese, one-quarter of the corned beef and 1/4 cup of the sauerkraut. Bake for about 5 minutes more, until the cheese is just melted. Top each toast with a poached egg and drizzle with the Reuben sauce. Sprinkle with snipped chives and serve immediately.

POACHED EGG ON CREAMY MUSHROOM TOAST

Steps:

• Chop the mushrooms
• Heat the butter and oil in pan and add shallots and cook a few minutes; add mushrooms and sauté until they lose some of their juices.
• Stir in cream and cook a few minutes.
• Toast the bread slices and arrange on individual plates. Top with creamy mushrooms and the cheese slices on top.
• Put in the oven until the cheese has just melted.
• While they are in the oven, poach the eggs for 2 - 3 minutes, and lay them on top of the toasts, sprinkle with some freshly ground pepper and serve immediately.
