Our Pairing Suggestion
Eggs can be difficult to pair with wine, but feta, olives and bread make this dish much more wine-friendly. Pair it with a fruity Mediterranean rosé (a good wine for eggs in general), such as one from Italy or Greece.
Recipe: Poached Eggs with Baked Feta and Olives
- FAST
- STAFF-FAVORITE
Ingredients
- Six 3-inch squares of rosemary focaccia, halved horizontally
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 10 ounces feta cheese, cut into 6 slabs
- Aleppo pepper or ancho chile powder, for sprinkling
- 6 large eggs
- Salt
- 18 pitted kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage
- Preheat the broiler and position a rack 6 inches from the heat. Bring a large deep skillet of water to a simmer. Brush the focaccia with olive oil and broil until lightly toasted. Put a slab of feta into each of 6 individual gratin dishes. Drizzle each slab with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Sprinkle lightly with Aleppo pepper and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned and sizzling.
- Meanwhile, crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl, then slide them into the simmering water. Poach until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the gratin dishes and season with salt. Sprinkle with Aleppo pepper, the olives and sage. Serve with the focaccia.
