Olive Oil Poached Egg Recipe 445

Steps:

• 1. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil, herbs and garlic over medium-low heat (3-4 minutes). You want it hot, but not sizzling. 2. Crack the egg into a small dish then slide it into the oil. Cook until the egg white is firm, flicking the oil with a spoon or spatula to reach the yolk and other spots that are above the oil. 3. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with salt and serve with toast if desired. navywifecook.com

Steps:

• Smash 3 of the cloves of garlic. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion, thyme and smashed garlic and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the gin and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice, the olives and brine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally while breaking up the tomatoes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper.
• Make 8 shallow wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes.
• Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining 1 clove of garlic and serve with the eggs.

Steps:

• In a medium (10-inch) cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high until it ripples like the ocean. (This can take 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).
• Crack the eggs into the pan. To minimize splatters and spreading, open the shell near the oil (not from high up), and slowly let the egg pour out of the shell. Leave the eggs untouched until the edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Gently tilt the pan towards you, spoon up some of the oil, and baste just the whites and edges of the yolk until the whites are set, about 1 minute. (Avoid the yolk so that it stays runny). Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the eggs to plates using a spoon or slotted spatula.
