This recipe comes from ‘The Weekend Table’ - the newest, beautiful cookbook by Tenina (link in bio). Whether you are a breakfast person or not (I am not) there are occasions where a hearty breakfast is required. This is one of those, and would suit a lazy Sunday morning with friends. It is divine, could do double duty as lunch no worries and all you have to do is get a bit organised then let your Thermo cooker do the rest. Of course poaching eggs is a bit of an art form, so make sure the skilled egg poacher in your household does that job.
