Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Bread (or alternative base like roasted vegetables)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the white vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg whites hold their shape while poaching.

Step 3

Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, ensuring they're not crowded in the pan.

Step 4

Let the eggs cook for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the eggs to a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 5

To make the dill sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 8

Toast the bread slices or prepare an alternative base like roasted vegetables.

Step 9

Place the toasted bread or vegetables on serving plates. Gently place a poached egg on each slice, then drizzle generously with the warm dill sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired, and serve immediately.
