I have a secret to share with you all. The secret of perfectly poached eggs! I've always been a huge fan of eggs cooked in this style, thought I have to admit, it has always felt like a bit of a fine art cooking them perfectly every single time. They always cooked okay, but never looked as beautiful as I thought they should - mine always turned out a bit ragged no matter how hard I tried to keep the eggs contained while cooking. That is until I started cracking the eggs into a mesh strainer to get rid of the whispy little egg bits - now I get perfectly poached eggs every single time!
Directions
Fill a medium saucepan with a few of inches of water. Heat on high until it barely reaches a simmer (you don't want too many bubbles or your eggs will end up all over the place).
Working with only 1 egg at a time, crack egg into a fine mesh strainer (placed over a bowl) to get rid of the wispy egg bits. Gently place eggs in boiling water, cover with a lid. Lower heat to low, and cook for 4 minutes until the whites are cooked through. Gently lift the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon.
Enjoy!
I have never actually poached an egg before!! This looks delicious, especially with the asparagus!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) If you're a fan of soft boiled eggs or eggs over easy you would love poached eggs!
DeleteI finally tried my hand at poaching eggs freestyle last weekend. I think it worked well except that the egg wasn't so fresh and the whites scattered a bit. I've never thought of doing it this way...I must find myself a mini strainer now!
ReplyDeleteI used a loose tea strainer! ;)
DeleteAmazing! I am going to try this :) for my boyfriend :) As i dont eat eggs ;)

Deleteperfectly poached eggs are a thing of beauty, aren't they Jax? It is one of those random cooking skills that I am surprisingly really good at. But I'm vegan, and my husband hates poached eggs, so I have no one to cook them for these days! Such a shame. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how food is like artwork sometimes! Definitely some beautiful vegan dishes out there too! :)
DeleteWould you be kind to post a video (or step-by-step photos)? I love poached eggs and have even tried poaching using a ladle, but it barely worked.
