poached eggs recipe with bacon and eggplant chutney

Some mornings, I find it challenging to get creative in the kitchen. Maybe it’s because I’m not a morning girl and whipping up something deliciously original that everyone will love before they hurry out the door is not exactly my favorite way to start the day. At least not until after the first cup of coffee. Can you relate?

Poached eggs topped with warm bacon and eggplant was a recipe idea I pulled together using leftovers from my warm bacon and eggplant dip recipe. What a flavor explosion! The combination of creamy poached eggs laid over a bed tender arugula and topped with the salty bacon and eggplant was perfection.  Add a side of sweet potatoes and enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you’ve made it please share it with me by tagging @culinary.butterfly on Instagram or @culinarybutterfly on Pinterest, or by using the hashtag #culinarybutterfly on Facebook
