This Sunday is Fathers Day and if you’re planning on spoiling Dad with breakfast in bed we’ve got you covered with our special Fathers Day Eggs & Bread combo There are so many yummy breakfast options you can make with eggs and bread; here are some of the best from our favourite chefs!
Jamie Oliver Poached Eggs
Ingredients:
4 organic eggs
Salt and Pepper
2 slices of bread
Butter
Method:
- Fill a wide, deep pan with boiling water. Bring to a light simmer over a medium heat, add a pinch of salt.
- Crack one of your eggs into a cup and gently pour it into the water in one fluid movement. Repeat with the rest of the eggs. You’ll see them begin to cook immediately. Depending on your pan, a really soft poached egg should take around 2 minutes and a soft to firm one will need 4 minutes (it depends on the size of the eggs and whether you’re using them straight from the fridge).
- To check whether they’re done, remove one carefully from the pan with a slotted spoon and give it a gentle push with a teaspoon. If it feels too soft, put it back and give the eggs a minute or two more in the water to firm up.
- When they’re ready, put them on some paper towel to dry off and serve with buttered toast and a sprinkle salt and pepper.
