1
Poach the Eggs
In a pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar and carefully crack each egg into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2
Grill the Queso Panela
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the queso panela and grill until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and cut into slices.
3
Assemble the Dish
In a serving plate, pour a generous amount of warm salsa ranchera. Place the poached eggs on top, followed by grilled queso panela slices. Crumble queso fresco over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
