Ingredients

• 1 slice Gluten-free bread
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vinegar (optional, for poaching)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Butter or dairy-free spread (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a small saucepan or deep skillet with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not let the water boil as this can break apart the egg.

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the water if desired; this helps the egg whites stay together while poaching.

Step 3

Crack a fresh egg into a small bowl or ramekin to make it easier to pour into the water.

Step 4

Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. This technique helps the whites wrap around the yolk.

Step 5

Let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or slightly longer for a firmer yolk. Carefully remove the egg with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess water.

Step 6

While the egg is poaching, toast your slice of gluten-free bread to your desired level of crispiness.

Step 7

Spread butter or a dairy-free spread onto the toasted bread, if desired.

Step 8

Place the poached egg on top of the toast. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg for seasoning.

Step 9

Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley, chives, or dill.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free toast with poached egg!
