Olive Oil Poached Egg

By mjohnmeyer

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup good olive oil
• 1 Egg
• Pinch or two of dried herbs, such as rosemary and thyme
• One garlic clove, peeled and smashed
• Salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil, herbs and garlic over medium-low heat (3-4 minutes). You want it hot, but not sizzling.

2. Crack the egg into a small dish then slide it into the oil. Cook until the egg white is firm, flicking the oil with a spoon or spatula to reach the yolk and other spots that are above the oil.

3. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with salt and serve with toast if desired.
