Freshly Laid in 5 Minutes
In my never-ending attempt to simplify things, I struggled for a simpler, faster way to get just-laid eggs onto the plate. 
My regular approach was to sauté in olive oil some chopped onion and red pepper. I followed this with some peeled, chopped tomatoes, a pinch of cayenne and some chopped parsley. Into the sauce went the eggs for poaching. The recipe below provides a great flavour punch with hardly any effort. Another great benefit – no fat required! I hope you enjoy it.
Chipotle Poached Eggs
Serves 1 or 2
Ingredients:
- 1 hen
- 1 bottle Chipotle Pepper Salsa (or salsa of your choice).
Method:
- Go outside and collect eggs.
- Place about 6 tablespoons of salsa into a frying pan.
- Heat with lid on (may splatter).
- Make an impression with the back of a spoon in the salsa and gently crack the egg(s) into the sauce. Put lid on and cook at a low temperature for 5 minutes or to taste. Note: eggs will cook much faster if they are still warm from the nest!
