To Poach the Eggs
- Fill a large sauté pan with water. Bring the water to a full simmer (between 170 and 190 degrees F). Crack fresh eggs (into ramekins or small measuring cups if concerned) and gently place the eggs into the water around the pan with plenty of space between them. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk it set to your liking. If the eggs are not perfectly fresh, crack them into a fine sieve to remove the loose white then pour the egg gently into the water.

Notes
- Don't want to poach? Fry the eggs instead.
- To make it even easier, a black bean salad can be purchased at your local deli.
- To make the dish vegetarian, omit the sausage.
