This
dish of Poached Eggs on Avocado &
Tomato with Capers and Mustard "Hollandaise" was pretty simple to
make but I thought it looked pretty. It
would have been even prettier if I was better at cooking poached eggs. They turned out ok but were ragged around the
edges! How do you avoid that?
I
just popped some slices of tomato and avocado onto each plate – making sure to
put lemon juice on the avocado so it didn’t turn brown.
I
made a little sauce – which is not a "hollandaise" but was meant to
be a similar colour – I put a little mayo, hot English mustard, white pepper,
lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil together. It ended up being quite – piquant – ie
tangy.
I
also roughly chopped a forkful of capers.
I
poached the eggs in a pan of just simmering water. I put a dash of vinegar into it – but it
didn't seem to help the eggs to hold together much. I stirred the water just before putting the
eggs in – again I don't think it made much difference.
Then
when the eggs were done I popped them onto the avocado/tomato slices, spooned a
little of the sauce on top and the capers.
It was fresh, healthy and even tasted great!
This just looks so good to me!!

We loved poached eggs; I'm going to try your sauce idea.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your blog is back... Thanks for stopping by foodie with your recipe , so simple and delicious.
ReplyDeleteYum! One of our fav breakfasts is poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. I poach my eggs in a deep frying pan and break them into egg rings. Helps keep the edges nice and round :)
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a delightful fast and healthy meal. Love all the colors!

Have an awesome day!!
I've tried using egg cups for perfect eggs, but then they seem to taste rubbery. I don't mind the jagged edge from the water. I've seen chefs trim the rough edges off so they look perfect, but then you get less white to eat. I have a poached egg dish on my post as well.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome - I love any kind of sauce with capers in it and avocados just rock. I'll definitely try this one.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really tasty. I pinned this recipe because I'm always looking for interesting ways to eat avocado. I found you via Aloha Friday Blog Hop. Hope you stop by: http://penpaperpapd.com.
ReplyDeleteAloha!
I love poached eggs on English muffins. Not too long ago I made eggs Benedict for supper. Nobody complained :)
ReplyDeletePoached eggs are my favourite weekend breakfast. These look delicious, wish I could eat avocado every day :)
ReplyDeleteDarn - I ate my last avocado this afternoon! This looks like the perfect breakfast/lunch!
ReplyDeleteI love the combination here - of egg, avocado and tomato. It's so refreshing and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI agree, very pretty. And what a lovely combination of flavors.
ReplyDeletethat is a pretty dish! From my understanding - to get those "perfect" shape eggs, you must use some form of bowl - but you are not competing for Iron Chef New Zealand - so what you do is perfect and the ombo sounds absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNow what am i going to have for breakfast or bruch?
My dad loved poached eggs but I haven't thought of them in years! I must make these soon as I love all the ingredients you used. Caught you on Foodie Fridays! You have a great site and I"m going to follow you now!
