Can I prepare the lamb's lettuce in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the lamb's lettuce in advance and store it in the refrigerator. On the day itself, you can briefly reheat the lamb's lettuce before placing it on the toast.

How long can I store Toast with chard and poached chili egg?

Toast with lamb's lettuce and poached chili egg is best when freshly prepared and consumed immediately. It is a dish that quickly loses its texture and flavor if stored for too long. Therefore, it is recommended to serve the dish immediately after it is prepared. Poaching eggs can also be tricky to reheat without losing the desired texture of the yolk.

How do you poach an egg without it falling apart?

The trick for a perfect poached egg is to use very fresh, room-temperature eggs and a good splash of vinegar in the water. The vinegar helps the egg white coagulate faster. Make sure the water is just below boiling point (gently simmering) for the best results.

Can you also eat chard stems?

Absolutely! Never throw away the stems. In this recipe, we first sauté the finely chopped stems for 5 minutes because they need a little longer than the leaves. They add a lovely bite to your chard toast.

Can I substitute Swiss chard for another vegetable?

If you can't find Swiss chard, this recipe is also delicious with (wild) spinach or kale. Please note that the cooking time for the stems may vary per vegetable.
