Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 2 slices of whole wheat bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices of smoked salmon
- Pepper
- Salt
Preparation:
Start by toasting the bread and poaching the eggs. To poach the eggs, heat a pan of water, making sure it doesn’t boil. Add 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar, which will help the eggs set faster. Gently stir the water in a circular motion with a spoon, being careful not to stir too vigorously.
Place an egg in a small bowl and gently slide it into the center of the swirling water. Let it cook for about 4 minutes in the water, or slightly longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
Now it’s time to assemble the sandwiches. If desired, spread some butter on the bread slices, then place 2 slices of smoked salmon on each slice. Top with the poached egg and halved cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
