Poached eggs with crispy pancetta
(Serves 1)
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2-3 slices pancetta
- 1 slice sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp parsley, roughly chopped
- Drizzle of olive oil
Method
- Bring a large saucepan of water to just below a simmer. Stir the water to create a whirlpool effect.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl and as the whirlpool is dying down carefully drop the egg into the water.
- Leave to poach for about three minutes, until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Then remove with a slotted spoon.
- In the meantime, heat a small frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the pancetta. Fry for around two to three minutes per side or until crisp.
- Remove from the pan and place on to kitchen towel.
- Toast the bread. Then top with pancetta and the poached egg. Sprinkle over the parsley and some seasoning and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
