Paleo Recipe: Poached Eggs

Hello friendly faces. I just had the great snack.

So good, in fact, that I had to post it.

Is it really that spectacular? Maybe, maybe not. Answer me this? Do you like huevos?

Well, I put together a quick snack that tasted just splendid.

The best part - it took about ten minutes to put together.

Here it is:

2 poached eggs + 1 tomato (med to large in size) + salt & pepper (to taste)

• Step 1: Poach 2 eggs 

• bring water to a boil (roughly 165 to 180 degrees; small bubbles, not rapid boil)
• add 1oz of white vinegar per qt. and a tsp of salt, stir, then add egg(s)
• once the egg whites have coagulated and begin to float, they're almost done. I put mine in for about 4 minutes
• Step 2: Cut your tomato in half and hollow it out using a knife or spoon.
• this can be done as your egg(s) poaches
• dispose of the tomato innards (I ate mine, because tomato guts are tasty)
• sprinkle a bit of salt & pepper into hollow tomato (to taste)
• Step 3: Combine eggs and tomato
• remove eggs from the water, place them on a paper towel to remove excess water 
• place eggs in tomato
• salt & pepper (or other spices) to taste
• Step 4: Put the food in your face!

• pick up the completed tomato with egg and spices
• open your face hole
• put it in your face hole
• enjoy   :-D

Here are some notes for consideration:

1. High quality and fresh eggs are the best tasting ones.
2. If you use a brown vinegar and a more than an ounce, the outer portion of your egg whites will vary in taste. Personally, I like using more than an oz of brown vinegar because it makes the egg feel and taste more like a burrata (but only slightly)
3. I topped my food with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and some sriracha hot sauce. Try them with some fresh basil.
4. Here is a video link for egg poaching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7BVsBtVcUY
5. I quickly put the eggs on and then off the paper towel because I wanted the heat of the eggs to warm up my tomato.... mmmmm.

I washed my snack down with a small glass of [Dark Chocolate Almond Milk]. It is kinda-sorta Paleo. It has evaporated cane juice in it as a sweetening agent. It really does the trick when you need a choco fix.

Paired up with some good protein, it is a very satisfying snack/small meal (just add some veggies on the side to munch on).

Don't mess up your efforts.

Exhibit some stick-to-it-iveness!
