Poach the eggs:
Fill a small saucepan with water, about 5 cm deep, and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool in the centre, then carefully slide the egg into the swirling water. Poach the egg for 3 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the poached egg out of the water and drain off any excess water. Repeat with the second egg.
Make sure the water is not boiling vigorously; it should be a gentle simmer. The eggs should reach an internal temperature of at least 70°C.
Tips and Variations
- If you like a little spice, add a finely chopped chili to the salsa.
- Serve with crusty bread or toast for added texture.
