Method
- Bring a small pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs with a spoon and cook for 7 minutes, until the white is firm and the yolk still soft; cool them in cold water, peel and cut into wedges.
- Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn and pat it very dry with kitchen paper, so it toasts instead of steaming.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and sauté the sweetcorn for 4 minutes, stirring only occasionally, until lightly charred and some kernels pop.
- Transfer the sweetcorn to a bowl and dress it with the Greek yoghurt, lime juice, chilli powder and a pinch of salt.
- Serve with the eggs, the crumbled queso fresco and the torn fresh coriander.
