A few tips:
- Use fresh eggs! This will make the biggest difference when poaching them. Old eggs where the egg white has become a bit runny will not poach well. The egg white should be fresh and firm.
- Add vinegar to the boiling water, this will make it easier to poach the eggs.
- Make sure the pan is really hot before you start to fry the halloumi. You only want to fry it quickly until it gets golden brown and a bit soft, you don’t want it to fry on low heat getting all soggy and remain pail.
- If you want to speed up the time to poach the eggs use two pots and cook two eggs simultaneously.
