Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 8 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Grainy mustard
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chopped parsley
• 2 slices Optional bread for serving

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with 8 cups of water. Add the white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to help gently add them to the water later.

Step 3

Using a spoon, stir the water in the saucepan to create a gentle whirlpool. Carefully slide the eggs one by one into the center of the whirlpool. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still runny.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, remove the poached eggs from the water and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess water.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the grainy mustard, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 6

If desired, toast the bread slices for serving. Place the poached eggs on the bread or a serving plate.

Step 7

Spoon the grainy mustard sauce over the top of the poached eggs for a flavorful finish.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
