Poached Eggs and Salmon in Potato Baskets
Eggs and smoked salmon are a wonderful match and go so well together!
Here I have baked some potato baskets first and then filled them.
Great for lunch, brunch or breakfast, or even a light meal.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 1 - 2
Ingredients
250 g potatoes, peeled
¼ cup water
2 tsp oil
½ tbsp capers
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 eggs
40 g packet rocket
100 g smoked salmon
Method
Put the potatoes in the water and microwave on high for about 5 minutes or until they have gone just a bit soft (do not cook). Drain
Keep aside for about 10 minutes to cool a bit.
Preheat the oven to 200°/180° fan forced. Spray 2 muffin pans holes, or 2 1 cup ramekin dishes - I used dishes however they stuck badly, so next time I would use the muffin pan.
Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl.
Add the oil and season with salt and pepper.
Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture into the prepared muffin tin holes, bringing it up the sides also.
Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Leave in the pans for a few minutes to cool slightly.
Meanwhile boil some water in a deep saucepan and add the vinegar. You could add a bit of oil so they do not stick to the bottom.
Crack the eggs carefully into a cup, and carefully slide them into the boiling water.
Cook for about 3 minutes or until the whites are opaque and only just firm. If you cook longer, the yolks will go hard.
Use a slotted spoon to put them on paper towel to dry out a bit.
Put the potato baskets on plates and top with the rocket, and then the smoked salmon.
Add an eggs on each, and sprinkle with the capers.
Serve with aioli - optional - I ate them both however could not eat lunch that day!
