Beet Greens and Poached Eggs is a breakfast recipe that takes about 45 min from start to finish and serves 2. It calls for 9 ingredients across 6 steps, and is rated medium. A serving works out at around 186 kcal with roughly 10 g of protein. Filed under gluten free, lacto ovo vegetarian, primal and vegetarian.
In a small skillet, heat 2 cups of water over medium-low heat until you see small bubbles just beginning to rise from the bottom. Add a pinch of salt and the vinegar.
Gently crack the eggs, one at a time, and slowly slide them into the simmering water. Cover the skillet and let them simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still wonderfully runny. That soft, flowing yolk is what you're aiming for here.
