Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups piperade
  • parsley, flaky sea salt, and Espelette pepper for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the piperade according to our instructions. You'll need about 2 cups for this recipe.
  2. Chop the parsley.
  3. Meanwhile, heat water in a large pot to poach the eggs. Crack four eggs into a shallow bowl, being careful not to break any of the yolks. When the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and slowly lower the bowl into the water, gently pouring the eggs into the pot. Poach the eggs until set but still runny, 3-5 minutes.
  4. To serve, spoon some warm piperade onto each plate. Place an egg on top and garnish with Espelette pepper, chopped parsley, and some flaky salt.
