Truffle Poached Eggs & Toast Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 8 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon truffle oil
  • 8 slices ciabatta or baguette
  • olive oil
Directions
  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan bring 4 cups water to a boil.
  2. Add the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to a very low simmer.
  3. Break 1 egg into a small cup or ramekin and gently slide it into the water; repeat with the remaining eggs.
  4. Poach until the whites are firm and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, strain, then transfer one egg on top of each piece of toast.
  5. Sprinkle the top of each egg with the grated Parmesan, the truffle oil and a little black pepper.
