Poached Egg Sandwiches Homemade Kosher Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (kosher-certified)
- Butter or olive oil for toasting the bread
- Sliced cheese (optional)
- Sliced tomato
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh spinach or lettuce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add a splash of vinegar to the water, which helps the egg whites coagulate faster.
2. Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring it with a spoon. This will help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
3. Carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Allow the egg to cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft, runny yolk or longer if you prefer it more cooked.
4. While the egg is poaching, toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness. You can use butter or olive oil to lightly coat the bread before toasting.
5. Once the bread is toasted, you can assemble your poached egg sandwich. Start by placing a slice of cheese (if using) on one side of the bread. This will help melt the cheese slightly.
6. Layer the sliced tomato, avocado, and fresh spinach or lettuce on top of the cheese.
7. Carefully remove the poached egg from the simmering water using a slotted spoon. Gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess water.
8. Place the poached egg on top of the sandwich fillings. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Finally, top the sandwich with the remaining slice of bread. Press gently to bring all the flavors together.
Poached egg sandwiches are incredibly versatile, and you can customize them to your liking. Feel free to add other ingredients such as crispy bacon, smoked salmon, or sautéed mushrooms. You can also experiment with different types of bread, from whole wheat to bagels or even croissants.
These sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately while the poached egg is still warm and the yolk is runny. The combination of the creamy yolk, melted cheese, and fresh fillings creates a delightful explosion of flavors and textures.
