Ingredients for making Poached Eggs Caprese
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 eggs
- 2 English muffin, split
- 4 (1 ounce) slices mozzarella cheese
- 1 tomato, thickly sliced
- 4 teaspoons pesto
- salt to taste

Directions for making Poached Eggs Caprese
- Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the vinegar and 2 teaspoons of salt, and keep the water at a gentle simmer.
- While waiting for the water to simmer, place a slice of mozzarella cheese and a thick slice of tomato onto each English muffin half, and toast in a toaster oven until the cheese softens and the English muffin has toasted, about 5 minutes.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl. Holding the bowl just above the surface of the water, gently slip the egg into the simmering water.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, and dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water.
- To assemble, place a poached egg on top of each English muffin. Spoon a teaspoon of pesto sauce onto each egg and sprinkle with salt to taste.
