Method

Bring a pan of water to a bare simmer and poach the eggs for three minutes.

Tip into a bowl, crumble the feta over, set the eggs on top and finish with chilli flakes and pepper.

Worth knowing

Quinoa cooked in a batch at the weekend keeps four days in the fridge and warms through in a pan in two minutes.
Feta is salty enough that no salt goes in. The lemon is doing the work the salt would.
