poached eggs with coriander -lime drizzle

Posted in Recipes, Thermomix recipes by

This recipe is simple and very tasty. You can whip up this restaurant quality brekkie for a fraction of the cost of eating out and it’s ready in minutes. I garnished mine with Virtual Bacon Dust – a George Colombaris recipe. It has a beautiful umami flavour and definitely lifts any dish it’s sprinkled on.

Thermomix Poached Eggs –

Ingredients

  • 1800g of boiling water from the kettle (this is much quicker than boiling in TM)
  • 30 grams white vinegar
  • oil to spray the TM simmering basket
  • 2 eggs (straight from fridge)

Preparation

  • Pour boiling water and vinegar into bowl.
  • Spray basket with oil and then insert into bowl.
  • Bring the water back to boiling, approximately 2 mins / Varoma / speed 2.
  • Crack 2 eggs into separate containers.
  • Once the Varoma temperature light is on – set timer to cook 3 mins / Varoma / speed 2.
  • Pour eggs into the basket through the hole in the TM lid.
  • Meantime, make your toast and get your plate and slotted spoon ready to remove your eggs and serve over the avocado on toast.

Notes

  • If you don’t own a Thermomix make eggs using traditional methods
  • If you like eggs very soft and runny cook for 2 minutes.
  • Water MUST be at boiling temperature before putting the eggs in.
  •  You can poach 4 eggs at a time for the same amount of time. Just check if they are done to your liking. There is plenty of drizzle to make a double serving of this recipe.
