Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  white vinegar
  • 4 fresh eggs (old eggs fall apart while poaching, but are great for boiling!)
  • 4 pieces artisan bread, toasted
  • 4 oz burrata cheese
  • 3 heirloom tomatoes of various colors, cut into large pieces
  • 4 basil leaves, chopped
  • Balsamic Glaze

Instructions

  1. Watch video posted above to learn to poach eggs

  2. Set a small pot of water to boil. Water should be 3" deep. Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to water, bring to a rolling boil.

  3. While waiting for water to boil, cut tomatoes and chop basil

  4. Grab two small bowls and carefully crack two eggs into each bowl, set aside

  5. When water boils, pop toast into the toaster

  6. You will be poaching two eggs at a time: Grab a spoon and one of the egg bowls, swirl boiling water smoothly and quickly until a vortex forms and pour those eggs right in the center. Poach eggs 2-3 minutes for runny, 3 1/2 minutes for slightly runny, 4-5 minutes for cooked through.

  7. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel, gently turn

  8. Repeat with next bowl of eggs

  9. Butter toast, place burrata on top, add tomatoes, basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze

  10. Top with eggs and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper

  11. Enjoy!
