Poached Eggs Caprese

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Start by bringing a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Don’t boil it too hard; we’re poaching, not boiling.
  2. Crack each egg into a small bowl, and gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for that perfect runny yolk.
  3. While the eggs are cooking, arrange the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on a plate, overlapping them for that artistic flair.
  4. Once your eggs are done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water. Let them drain for a bit before placing them on top of the tomato and mozzarella.
  5. Next, sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the eggs, and add fresh basil leaves for that burst of flavor.
  6. Finally, drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar over everything to tie all those beautiful flavors together.

And there you have it! You’ve just put together a plate of Poached Eggs Caprese that’s not only a feast for the stomach but also for the eyes. Let’s eat!
