About this recipe
This recipe is inspired by the classic combination of poached eggs paired with fresh ingredients, resulting in a satisfying breakfast that’s both flavourful and nourishing. The concept of eggs topped with salsa adds a refreshing, zesty twist, making it a perfect start to the day!
Method
-
Step 1: Prepare the tomato salsa
Chop the tomato into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Finely chop the red onion and add to the bowl. Add the chopped fresh coriander and lime juice. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper into the mixture and stir gently until combined.

Step 2: 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. -
Step 3: Serve the dish
Place the poached eggs onto a plate. Add a generous spoonful of the fresh tomato salsa on top of the eggs. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Tips
- If you like a little spice, add a finely chopped chili to the salsa.
- Serve with crusty bread or toast for added texture.
