Poached eggs make a great accompaniment to your morning toast – but they aren’t just for breakfast! Poached eggs can be paired with numerous other meals to give you a great source of protein at any time of the day. We’ve put together a list of some of the ways you can enjoy poached eggs for brunch, lunch or dinner.
Atop a Salad
Poached eggs are a great source of added protein and flavour for your favourite salad. The recipe for this warm lentil salad is available at Taste.com.au.
With Fish
Poached egg + fish = a match made in heaven. Smoked haddock is a particularly good pairing with a poached egg. You can also sit poached eggs on top of fishcakes for great flavour.
With Pasta
A great way to add protein to your next pasta dish, particularly if you’re vegetarian, is to add a poached egg. Find out how to make this spinach and tomato pasta over at Self.
With Chickpeas
This combination of protein-packed poached eggs and fibre-rich chickpeas is a very nutritional and healthy meal. See the recipe for this Indian Chickpeas recipe at BBC Good Food.
With Quinoa
When added to a bowl of quinoa, the runny yolk of a poached egg creates a delicious dressing, so you don’t have to add anything extra. Full recipe for this egg-topped quinoa bowl at MyRecipes.
With Polenta
Enjoy creamy polenta with a warm, runny poached egg for a quick and simple meal that’s suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Recipe for this polenta available from Vintage Mixer.
