Peas with Poached Eggs - Rossella's Cooking with Nonna

fresh peas

🥗Healthier: frozen peas

💰Cheaper: canned peas

Frozen peas maintain sweetness and are often cheaper than fresh.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain adds fiber but can be more expensive.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pot until hot.

Add chopped onions and sauté until soft, a few minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Add fresh peas to the boiling broth.

Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Lower the heat to poach the eggs without breaking them.

Crack three eggs into a clear bowl, one at a time, and gently slide them into the simmering water.

Wait for the first egg to cook before adding the next one, if desired.

Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set and cover the yolks, about 3-4 minutes.

Scoop peas with some broth into a bowl, then place a poached egg on top.
