Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Harissa paste
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small, finely minced Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 4 slices Crusty bread
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water to help the eggs hold their shape during poaching.
Step 2
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to make transferring to the water easier.
Step 3
Using a spoon, stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool effect, and carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the finely minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the harissa paste and salt, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fully combined and aromatic. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Toast the slices of crusty bread to your desired level of crispness.
Step 6
Place two slices of bread on each plate, and top each slice with a poached egg. Drizzle the harissa oil generously over the eggs.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
