Bring a pot of water on the stove to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and give the water a swirl with a spoon.
Gently add one egg and let it poach for four minutes. If you like a hard poached egg let it go for six minutes at least. If you don’t want to poach an egg you can easily fry up an egg as well.
Take it out and set it aside on paper towel. Cut the brussels sprouts in half and wash them really well. Thinly slice each one or you can use a food processor. In a separate jar add all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette and give it a shake.
Fry the the pancetta or bacon on the stove until crispy.
Add in the thinly sliced brussels sprouts to the bacon. Give it a quick stir and add a touch of salt. Add the vinaigrette. Let it cook for 30 seconds just to cook off the raw ingredients and take it off the heat.
The brussels sprouts should not be mushy they should be crispy and have a bite to them. Add them to a bowl with some toasted pistachios or any nut of choice.
I toasted my pistachios for a few minutes on the stove. Add shavings of Manchego cheese or even Parm and add the poached egg on top. Cracked black pepper on top of the egg is optional. Enjoy
