WAKE ME UP POACHED EGGS
May 2, 2018
: 2
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp ghee
- 3 pieces organic bacon diced - optional
- 1/4 cup fresh onion diced
- Himalayan salt & fresh pepper to taste
- 2 medium 1 inch cubed potatoes
- 3 Tbsp diced red peppers
- 3-4 poached eggs
- 1 fresh jalapeño sliced and seeded
- 1/4 cups cilantro leaves roughly chopped
- 1 medium avocado sliced
- A shake of Mexican Seasoning
- Gluten-free hot sauce optional - but worth it!
Directions
- Step 1 If you’re using Bio bacon you might need a bit of ghee so get your frying pan hot and cook the diced bacon until done. Add the onion and sauté until tender. Add cubed potatoes and fry until golden brown. Finally, add the red peppers (I do this last so they are still crunchy) and the salt and pepper.
- Step 2 While the potatoes are finishing or staying warm, begin cooking your pouched eggs. I usually cook 3 to 4 eggs at a time. I use this little gizmo below and it works every time!
- Step 3 The eggs come out just right. I like mine a little runny so it bursts over the tasty potatoes.
- Step 4 Now scoop a serving of potatoes on your plate, top it off with a poached egg, a slice of avocado, sprinkle with cilantro, sliced jalapeños, a drizzle of hot sauce and a dash of Mexican seasoning. This will surely wake you up!
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
