Poached Eggs - where have you been all my life

Anonymous
So I may have had poached eggs once at a brunch, but DD wanted to try making some after a school project on Julia Child.

OMG. So good. We make them with a splash of vinegar, swirl the boiling water like on BBC good food and it is delightful. Pure puffy whites, runny yolks. I could eat these every meal.

Yum yum.

Over any toast, cheddar cheese and salsa.
Over French Bread with a white cheese.
With mustard and ham.
I could go on and on!

try them over a potato/bell pepper/onion hash. Delish.

Annoying cleaning the 'scum' from the pan you use. Have also tried the poaching pods, but doesn't quite give the same result

Put them on a hot waffle! Soooo good.

Also, just wait until you try coddled eggs...

Poached egg on toast was a rare treat in our house for whenever we were sick or recovering from sickness (like stomach virus). I remember it being quite delicious.

Do you but a buillion cube (chicken) in the water? If not, you should.

You really, really need to try the 62 degree egg in sous vide! AMAZING.

Love poached eggs. My parents used to poach eggs and serve over corned beef hash-the canned stuff. I still love it to this day.

Have you ever had onsen tamago? It’s a Japanese egg cooked whole at a low temperature. Crack it open and a warm, poached-seeming egg slides right out. I need to figure out how to make one myself.

I remember "discovering" them on a cruise ship breakfast buffet. Eventually I learned how to make them. Easy and healthy. I like them over any kind of really good bread or a veggie hash or avocado toast ...yum! I don't know why it took me so long to try them!

I regularly do a "lazy woman's" poach--no vinegar, no stirring and pop one on a buttered English muffin with cheddar. So easy and tasty. My kids love them.

We stayed at a hot springs inn in the mountains in Japan, they had one hot spring pool indoors with onsen tamago in it. You could grab one any time of the day for a snack.

To make it at home you just add cold water to the boiling water and leave the egg in there for 15-20 minutes.
