Greek Salad Platter with Cheats Poached Eggs

Greek Salad Platter with Cheats Poached Eggs

Serves 4 for R100

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
  • ½ cucumber, cut into sticks
  • 100 g packet Kalamata olives, drained
  • 2 rings Feta, broken into pieces
  • Greek salad dressing, to serve

 

Method:

  1. Make cheats poached eggs by pressing the middle of a perforated plastic wrap square into a small ramekin or bowl, leaving the rest of the plastic to hang over the outside edge. Spray the centre with cooking spray and crack in an egg. Bring the sides of the plastic overhang up and tie up tightly with kitchen string, ensuring there are no air bubbles around the egg. Take the plastic parcel out of the ramekin and repeat with the rest of the eggs.
  2. Bring a medium saucepan half full of water to a simmer on medium heat. Carefully add all the egg parcels and cook for 4 minutes for runny yolks or until cooked to your liking. Carefully cut the parcels open under the knots and unwrap. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, olives and Feta on a platter with the eggs. Serve with the dressing.
