Breakfast revolution: Master the art of poached eggs with ease

Eggs for breakfast are always a good idea. Cooking them hard-boiled or soft-boiled is not difficult. Poached eggs, which are cooked without the shell, are often considered significantly harder to prepare. This perception is unnecessary, as their preparation is just as simple. And it can be even easier with a bag trick.

Poached eggs are perfect when set whites and liquid yolks are enclosed. They look impressive and taste amazing. They should be transferred to a plate whole; only after piercing with a fork should the yolk slightly spill out. They can be served with vegetables, and they go perfectly with avocado and tomato, cold cuts, on sandwiches, in salads, or in soups. The ideas are plentiful. They taste great with salt, pepper, and nigella or chives. However, first, you need to cook the eggs.

Cooking is easy

Eggs that you intend to prepare as poached should be as fresh as possible. It’s also good to take them out of the fridge earlier to reach room temperature.

  • Boil water, add vinegar or lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons per 1 litre of water); create a vortex with a spoon and crack the egg into it. After about 3-4 minutes, remove it with a slotted spoon.
  • Don't have experience with this, and are you worried that the egg will disperse in the water? Use a clever trick. Crack the egg into a cup or glass lined with plastic wrap coated with oil, wrap it from the top, and immerse the pouch in boiling water.
  • You can buy special molds to cook poached eggs. Crack the eggs into them and place them in boiling water. These moulds are usually made of silicone and can be washed in the dishwasher.

They must be fresh

A poached egg, also known as a posh egg, retains valuable nutritional properties to a very large extent, provided the egg is fresh. How to check it? When placed in a container of water, if the egg lies at the bottom, it is suitable for preparation this way; if it floats to the surface, it's better to use it for other dishes.

Even two

Nutritionists believe that we can safely eat one or two eggs a day. There is no need to worry about cholesterol because they raise it only slightly. Although eggs are relatively calorie-dense, they are not fattening because they are very satiating. When you choose eggs for breakfast, you provide a substantial portion of protein, giving you energy and keeping you full for a long time. As a result, the tendency to snack before the next meal is significantly reduced. Moreover, eggs are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, giving you the strength to face the day's challenges.
