Instructions

Step 1

Roasting the Baby Carrots

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Place the baby carrots in a baking dish and season them with salt, black pepper, dried garlic, and Italian herbs.

Drizzle with avocado oil and toss everything together until the carrots are well coated.

Roast in the oven for 40 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 2

Poaching the Eggs

Take a piece of plastic wrap and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.

Place a small bowl on top of the wrap, break an egg into the center, and gather the sides of the wrap to twist and form a small pouch.

Submerge the pouch in a pot of boiling water and let it cook for 3 minutes for a perfectly poached egg.

Once done, carefully remove the pouch from the water and unwrap it to release the egg.

Step 3

Assembling the Dish

Start by arranging a bed of mixed greens on a plate.

Add cherry tomatoes and the roasted baby carrots on top.

Next, place an unsweetened wafer or slice of toasted rye bread next to the greens.

Gently place the warm poached egg on top of the wafer, and add sliced avocado.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and salad mix for added crunch and flavor. Season the avocado lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your dish immediately while it’s warm and enjoy the mix of textures and flavors!

This meal makes for a delightful breakfast or light lunch that’s both nutritious and delicious. Bon appétit!

Servings

Even the simplest meals can shine with the right presentation. For your Poached Egg with Roasted Baby Carrots, serve it elegantly on a stylish plate filled with a bed of fresh salad greens and cherry tomatoes. These vibrant colors not only make for a beautiful display but also add freshness to the dish. Don’t forget to place a lightly toasted, sugar-free waffle on the side – it’s perfect for soaking up the rich yolk! 🍳✨

For a touch of gourmet flair, sprinkle some sesame seeds over your avocado slices just before serving. This little detail not only enhances the flavor but also adds a lovely crunch! When looking for that perfect combination, consider pairing with a bright herbal tea or freshly squeezed juice to elevate your breakfast experience even more. 🥤
