Smoked haddock & spinach cream on potato bread with poached egg
Dromod Potato Bread

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices Dromod Irish Homemade Potato Bread
  • 200g smoked haddock (skinless, boneless)
  • 1 leek, finely sliced
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 200ml milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 2 fresh eggs
  • A splash of vinegar (for poaching)

Directions:

Poach the haddock:

  • Place smoked haddock in a shallow pan with milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and poach for 5–6 minutes. Remove the fish and flake into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the milk.

Make the leek & spinach cream:

  • In a separate pan, melt butter and sauté the sliced leeks for 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in the flour to form a roux. Gradually add the reserved milk, stirring constantly to form a smooth sauce. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the flaked haddock.

Poach the eggs:

  • Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Crack eggs into small cups and gently lower into the water. Poach for 3–4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Toast the potato bread:

  • Toast or pan-fry the Dromod Potato Bread slices until golden and warmed through.

Assemble:

  • Top each slice of potato bread with the creamy smoked haddock and spinach mixture. Place a poached egg on top and season with black pepper.
