Saturday brunch at home

... consists of a mâche salad, olive oil and balsamic, with some sliced saucisses, freshly grated gruyère, and a warm poached egg! And some good baguette!

Poaching eggs: The trick is to use very fresh eggs. Bring a pot of water to a boil, reduce to a fervent simmer/mild boil, put in some vinegar (any will do, even cheapo ones). Break the egg into a small bowl, and gently lower the egg into the hot water. It should be ready in about 1-2 mins! The warmth of yolk dripping down your chin!
