SERVES ONE

INGREDIENTS

25ml (1 oz) white wine vinegar

1 slice white farmhouse bread (no seeds)

1 free range egg room temperature

Unsalted butter for spreading (optional)

Marmite® for spreading

Ground black pepper

METHOD

• Fill a medium size saucepan with water (or a larger saucepan if cooking more than one egg).

• Bring to just under boiling point, turn down to a simmer and add the vinegar.

• Place the bread in the toaster until nice and crispy.

• Place the egg in a small cup.

• Swirl the simmering water with a whisk to create a whirlpool in the centre, then gently drop the egg into the pan.

• Turn the heat up and when it starts bubbling again, turn it back down to a low simmer.

• Poach the egg for 3 minutes – the egg will rise to the surface when done.

• Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to soak up excess water.

• Spread the toast with the butter (optional)  followed by Marmite®.

• Top with the poached egg and sprinkle with a little ground black pepper.

• Serve immediately.
