Poached egg with green beans and browned walnut butter

Kochschritte

Schritt 1/5

01 / 05

Add water to a pot and set to high heat. Crack each egg into its own small container (this will make it easier to transfer to the pot later).

Schritt 2/5

02 / 05

Wash and trim the green beans. Add to a pan on high heat with olive oil and toss frequently. The greens should char but be careful not to burn them. When the beans are nearly done (about 5 minutes) add a minced clove of garlic and toss through until just cooked. Remove from heat.

Schritt 3/5

03 / 05

Once the pot of water is boiling, lower heat to medium to simmer and stir the water in a circular motion to create a sort of vortex. Drop one egg into the vortex and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still soft. Remove the cooked egg and poach the second.

Schritt 4/5

04 / 05

While the eggs are poaching, add butter and whole walnuts to a pan and stir frequently. The butter will melt and eventually brown to a deep golden color. The nuts will toast while releasing some flavor into the butter.

Schritt 5/5

05 / 05

Plate the green beans, poached egg, and walnut butter sauce. Chop the walnuts to top (or optionally leave whole). Add flaky salt and lemon zest and serve with a good slice of bread.
