Poached Eggs With Peperonata



In continuing my breakfast recipes, which are predominately Paleo friendly; here's a really quick, easy, and delicious way to start the day; Poached Eggs With Peperonata. I must admit though, I didn't make the peperonata fresh this morning. It's leftovers from my roast pork dinner last night. Who'd have thought I'd have found a breakfast use from some leftover roast dinner.



Peperonata is a really tasty side dish, not to mention extremely healthy and low fat. Pairing it with my daily two poached eggs, really lifts my breakfast plate.
