Method

- Crack one egg into small bowl
- Turn pot down to 3/10 and drop slowly into pot - no bullsh*t whirlpool
- Crack second egg into small bowl and drop into pot
- While they are cooking for three minutes, fill a large bowl with water and a handful of ice
- Three minutes after dropping second egg in (hopefully you did that fast), scoop eggs out and put in chilled water - we don’t want them to continue cooking
- Trim the tail on the eggs if you desire - put aside
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinaigrette, olive oil, salt and pepper to make a dressing
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the spinach, pears, pomegranate seeds and pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss gently to mix and coat well
