Prepare the Beans
Trim the ends of the green, yellow, and purple string beans. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

Poach the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to drain.

Cook the Beans
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the string beans and blanch them for 3-5 minutes until they are bright in color and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
