Poached Eggs Caprese For Two
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar distilled
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 large eggs for poaching
- 2 each english muffins whole wheat, split, toasted
- 2 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 large tomatoes thickly sliced
- 4 teaspoons basil pesto
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- Fill a large saucier pan (skillet with high sides) with 2 or 3 inches of water.
- Bring to the boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the vinegar and salt.
- Adjust heat to keep the water at barely simmering.
- Meanwhile, toast the English muffins.
- Arrange two muffin halves on each of two serving plates while still hot.
- Place a slice of mozzarella (or Pepper Jack works well too!)
- and thick slice(s) of tomatoes.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl.
- Holding the bowl just above the surface of the water, gently slip the egg into the simmering water.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Use a slotted spoon to keep any threads or tails that form together as well as keep the eggs separated.
- Poach the eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 to 3 minutes depending on your preferences.
- Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, and place on a plate lined with paper toweling to remove any excess water.
- For assembling, place a poached egg on top of the tomatoes on each English muffin.
- Spoon a teaspoon of pesto sauce onto each egg and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste as desired.
- Serve immediately while warm.
