Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
For my entire life, I've believed that two things should always go together -- eggs and bread. (Unless, of course, we're talking about deviled eggs.) In fact, I'd rather go without breakfast, or eat something less desirable, than attempt to partake in eggs without some kind of bread or bread-product. (I've even been known to dive for the bread crumbs when desperate.) Bread and eggs just go together. They're Tom with Jerry, Sonny with Cher, Simon Pegg with Nick Frost. Alone, they're just not the same.
And then I found myself eating brunch at the Park Hyatt Toronto. I ordered an egg-topped green salad, and an ordering mishap left me without my side of bread. Reluctantly, I began to eat my salad -- for the first time ever, I could eat eggs without the bread. Diced chunks of cheese and meat balanced the light and airy lettuce, and the runny yolk became a delicious extra hint of dressing to the salad.
Best of all -- it's easy to make. The above salad is just a bunch of romaine hearts tossed with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then topped with some diced tomato, finely diced onion, and chunks of kielbasa, cheese, and avocado. Two poached eggs went on top, and then a good grind of salt and pepper. It's delicious, easy, quick, and hugely filling.
*Note: The eggs are red because they were poached in some left-over red wine that has sat too long in my fridge. It offers s a nice extra hit of flavor.

I love the idea of poaching eggs in wine. Have you tried any other liquids, for example fruit juices? And the color the wine gives the eggs, beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
