Haddock Rarebit with Poached Eggs

This rarebit recipe is made more substantial by adding smoked haddock and poached eggs.

Ingredients:
700g smoked haddock fillet, skinned and boned
400ml full cream milk
6 slices  Wholegrain  Bread
350g    Cheese Sauce
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
6 medium eggs

Instructions:
Cut the fish into 6. Place in a pan with the milk and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat immediately and set aside for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the grill to the highest setting and toast the bread lightly on both sides, then place on a baking sheet.
Heat the cheese sauce and stir in the mustard.
Drain the fish thoroughly and place a piece on each slice of toast. Spoon the hot sauce over evenly. Return to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden.
Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil, reduce to a simmer and gently crack in the eggs. Poach them for about 4 minutes until soft, then, using a slotted spoon, place 1 on top of each rarebit. Serve with a handful of watercress.  Serves 6

Tip:
For a perfectly shaped poached egg, stir the simmering water before cracking in the egg.
