Veggie Hash with Poached Eggs

 

Is there anything more delicious than a golden runny yolk?

How about that golden yolk running over perfectly sauteed vegetables?

Did I sell you yet?

No? Okay how about runny yolk, sauteed vegetables and a delicious, nutritious dinner in under 20 minutes?

Bingo. I knew that’d get you.

This dish is a great way to use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge. I used a potato, a yellow squash and a zucchini. Just drizzle some olive oil in a pan and toss in the vegetable that will take the longest to cook first.

For me, that was the potato.

I let it go for about 10 minutes. stirring occasionally.

and seasoned with salt and pepper

Next up is poaching the egg.

 

You can fry your egg, but I wanted to try and conquer poaching.

 

Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil.

 

Carefully crack your egg in a bowl.

Using a spoon, start stirring the water to create a whirlpool, then drop in your egg. Repeat for as many eggs as you want.

I couldn’t drop in the egg and take a picture at the same time. This is where an assistant would be fabulous.

The egg takes a minute or two to cook.

When the egg is ready, scoop your veggies onto a plate and top with your eggs.

Run your fork through the egg and let the luscious yolk flow.
