Poached Egg with Truffle Salt Grilled Zucchini
Description
This recipe begins by poaching eggs to a soft consistency, preferably around three minutes for a runny center. Thin ribbons of zucchini, made using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, are brushed lightly with olive oil and seasoned with truffle salt and black pepper before being quickly grilled on a heated pan. The zucchini cooks just enough to soften slightly while retaining structure.
Cherry tomatoes are halved to provide freshness and acidity, complementing the richness of the poached egg. Fresh basil leaves add herbal brightness and aroma as a garnish. The delicate textures of poached egg yolk mixing with grilled and fresh vegetables provide a balanced plate.
This dish can be served as a light breakfast, brunch item, or a simple starter. The truffle salt introduces an earthy umami note that elevates the mild zucchini and egg without overwhelming them, suitable for those seeking subtle gourmet flavors in a straightforward preparation.
Ingredients
- 3 zucchini large
- 4 egg poached
- 16 cherry tomatoes halved, or plum tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- basil fresh, handful, leaves
- 1 tsp truffle salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Poach your eggs (3-min eggs are my favorite), then set aside in a bowl or luke-warm water.
- Using either a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, slice your zucchini into thin ribbons. Lightly brush olive oil on both sides, then sprinkle with truffle salt and pepper.
- Heat your grill pan on medium-high heat. Place the zucchini ribbons on the grill pan for approximately 30 seconds, then flip. Remove and divide evenly between four plates.
- Place your tomatoes on the plate, then top with a poached egg and a few leaves of basil. Add any additional pepper before serving.
