Ingredients

• 4 large Fresh duck eggs
• 2 liters Water
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Fresh arugula
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium-sized pot with 2 liters of water. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

While waiting for the water to simmer, prepare the plates with arugula: Divide 2 cups of fresh arugula between two plates as a bed for the poached eggs.

Step 3

Cut 1 large avocado in half, remove the pit, slice the flesh and arrange the slices around the arugula on each plate.

Step 4

Once the water has reached a gentle simmer, carefully crack one large duck egg into a small cup or bowl without breaking the yolk.

Step 5

Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring it with a spoon. Carefully slide the duck egg from the cup into the center of the whirlpool. This helps the egg white wrap around itself.

Step 6

Poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the egg from the water and drain it on a paper towel.

Step 7

Repeat the poaching process with the remaining duck eggs.

Step 8

Place two poached duck eggs on each plate, atop the arugula and avocado.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and drizzle over the eggs and salad.

Step 10

Finish with a sprinkle of 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper over the poached eggs and salad for seasoning.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious Keto-friendly breakfast or brunch option.
