Ingredients

2 British Lion eggs – One egg per crumpet works for me. Make sure they’re fresh, it really makes a difference when poaching.
Water for boiling
2 crumpets – I love the way crumpets soak up the yolk, they’re the perfect base. Toast is totally fine too if that’s all you’ve got.
A splash of vinegar – I usually add a teaspoon of white wine vinegar to the poaching water. It helps the egg whites set a bit faster.
Salt and pepper – I keep seasoning simple. A pinch of salt on the egg just and lots of cracked black pepper.
Optional extras – If I have a ripe avocado, I’ll smash it with a bit of lemon juice and sea salt. Roasted cherry tomatoes are one of my favourite additions too.
