Ingredients

  • 600ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 onion, halved
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 350g undyed smoked haddock
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 2 spring onions, finely cliced
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves picked, plus extra to garnish
  • 225g new potatoes, diced
  • 25g Parmesan, grated
  • 2 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 4-8 eggs

Directions

  1. Put the milk, onion and bay in a pan over a very low heat for 15 minutes. Bring to a simmer, add the fish and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon. Strain the cooking liquid into a jug. Flake the fish (discard skin or bones) and cool.

  2. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat, add the garlic, spring onions and thyme and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and the cooking liquid and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Fold in the fish, cheese and yogurt. Season.

  3. Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer. Stir the water, then break an egg into it. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Serve 1-2 eggs on each plate with the fish and potato mixture and sprinkle with the extra thyme.
