Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Vinegar (optional, but makes it easier to poach the eggs)
  • 1 package Halloumi sliced
  • 1 dl Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 Cucumber sliced
  • 1 Tomato sliced
  • 1 Avocado pitted, peeled and sliced
  • Fresh parsley, to top roughly chopped
  • Paprika powder, to top
  • Olive oil, to fry

Instructions

  • Preheat a pan over medium/heat with some olive oil.
  • Bring water to a boil in a medium sized pot together with the vingear (if using).
  • I cook one egg at a time. Start by cracking one egg into a small bowl.
  • When the water starts to boil, lower the heat and wait until the water just simmers.
  • Using a whisk or a wooden spoon create a swirl in the water.
  • Gently slip the egg into the simmering water. Let it cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on how runny you prefer your eggs.
  • Remove the egg with slotted spoon and drain well.
  • Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  • When one egg remains place the halloumi in the hot pan and fry for 1-2 minutes in each side, until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile divide the Greek yogurt between two plates.
  • Slice the cucumber, tomato and avocado and place on the side of the greek yogurt.
  • When the eggs and halloumi are done add two eggs on each plate and divide the halloumi between the plates.
  • Top with fresh parsley and paprika powder and serve warm.
