▢ 2 eggs very fresh

Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Instructions

Heat water in a pan to 180 °F (80 °C) (you will not see any bubbles at the surface).
Meanwhile, cut open the buns and spread them with pesto mayonnaise.
2 Sandwich buns, 2 tablespoons pesto mayonnaise
Place a handful of arugula on top.
1 oz. arugula
Carefully break an egg in a fine sieve over a small bowl.
2 eggs
Slowly lower the sieve into the water, scooping the egg white over the yolk with a spoon. Do this for about 45 seconds. This will keep the egg from sticking to the strainer.
Remove the sieve from the water and poach the egg for another 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and drain well on kitchen paper.
Repeat for the other egg.
Place the poached eggs on the arugula and serve immediately.

NOTES

1. Pesto Mayonnaise - This Mediterranean mayonnaise goes with almost any recipe. A touch of sweet basil gives this mayonnaise its delicious taste. The recipe for pesto mayonnaise can be found here.

2. Eggs -

Make sure the eggs are as fresh as possible. The white is firmly around the yolk with fresh eggs, which is easy to poach.
Poaching time for different egg sizes: Eggs size S poach 2 to 2 ½ minutes, size M 3 minutes, and eggs size L poach 3 ½ to 4 minutes.
A poached egg where the egg yolk has not entirely set is not suitable for pregnant women, children under four years old, the elderly, and the sick. So poach it longer.

3. How do you keep the poached egg warm?
Place in a bowl of warm water and cover the poached egg.

4. Storage
Quickly cool the poached egg in a bowl of ice water.

Refrigerator - Place the poached eggs in a bowl of cold water and cover them with foil. Make sure the poached eggs are covered with water. This way, they stay good for up to 2 days.
Reheat - Fill a bowl with hot water and place the poached eggs. Leave them in there until they are warm.
