Ingredients:

Eggs:

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 4 eggs
  • Buttered low-FODMAP or gluten-free toast, to serve
  • Handful of mixed lettuce leaves, to serve
  • A few grinds of salt and pepper

Lemon Hollandaise Sauce :

  • 1½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/8 teaspoon white sugar
  • Pinch of rock salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free spread or butter

Preparation:

  1. Fill a deep-frying pan with about 1¼ inches of water and add the vinegar. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer.
  2. Take an egg and crack it into a small sieve (this removes any loose egg white and gives you a pretty poached egg), then carefully pour it into a small bowl.
  3. Stir the water until it swirls and carefully pour the whole egg into the pan. Repeat for each egg. Cook each egg for about 2 minutes for a soft egg or 4 minutes for a firmer egg, then scoop out and place on a paper towel to drain.
  4. Make the hollandaise sauce while the eggs cook. Whisk the lemon juice, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl until smooth. Melt the dairy-free spread or butter in the microwave and slowly whisk into the mixture.
  5. Heat the hollandaise sauce in the microwave for 15 seconds, whisk, and then heat in 10-second bursts (you might need to do this four or five times), whisking each time to remove the skin that forms on the sides of the bowl. Repeat until thick.
  6. Serve the poached eggs on buttered toast with mixed lettuce leaves. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
