I really love eggs, they’re so versatile, easy to prepare and healthy! Poached eggs are one of my favorite ways of preparing eggs. It feels like you’re eating something very fancy and well prepared. And the texture of poached eggs is just divine! You have the set egg white with the creamy egg yolk inside that creates the most wonderful combination. I know many people are afraid of making poached eggs because it sounds and looks quite advanced. But trust me, it’s not. I was very afraid the first time I made it, just because I had heard and read that it was so hard to succeed. But I nailed it on my first attempt. But there are a few tips and trix that makes it easier. Anyways, this dish is divine. You have a bed of fresh tangy greek yogurt, topped with a flavorful tomato sauce and fried sweet tomatoes. Add the eggs with the creamy egg yolk on top and top this dish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley. If you have the time and want to make this dish even a notch better? Then you have to top it with these roasted chickpeas.
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.
- Preferably use a tomato sauce that already is seasoned, so you just don’t use a plain tomato sauce. I used a tomato sauce with chili in it, because I love to add some heat to this dish.
- Use good quality cherry tomatoes. It makes a huge difference if you use tasty and flavorful cherry tomatoes with good quality compared to the cheap and bland ones.
- Fry the tomatoes on high heat for a few minutes. They should only get warm and a little browned. Then keep them warm on low heat in the pan.
