I normally have a poached egg with toast or homemade brown bread and beans, great protein boost if you have been to the gym or out running. Plus its damn tasty!

Serves 1:

1 or 2 eggs

A splash of vinegar

Freshly crushed black pepper
Served with wheaten bread

Method

     1.      Half fill a small saucepan of water and add a splash of vinegar, place onto a hot hob and bring to the boil.

      

     2.    In the meantime chop a few chives and crack an egg onto a saucer.

    

     3.    When the saucepan has come to the boil reduce to a steady simmer, with a spoon stir the water around to make a small ‘whirlpool’ in the saucepan and gently slide the egg of the saucer into it (this should keep it quite compact and tidy)

     4.      2-3 mins should do it or a little longer if u don’t want the yolk runny.

     5.      Remove with a slotted spoon and sprinkle over the black pepper.
