Instructions

  1. To make eggs, fill a medium saucepan half way up with water; place over medium-high heat. Bring water to a boil and add vinegar; reduce heat to a simmer. Crack eggs, one by one, into a cup and slide gently into simmering water; cook until egg whites have set, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove eggs to a plate with a slotted spoon; cover to keep warm.
  2. To make polenta rounds, combine chili powder and garlic powder in a cup; dust mixture over polenta rounds. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook polenta until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to use.
  3. To make salsa, combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; mix well to coat.
  4. To assemble meal, place one polenta round on each of 4 plates. Top each with an egg and about 1/3 cup of salsa.
