Poached Egg Recipe By Tasty Food

PERFECT POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
• TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
• Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
• Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
• Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer to reach poaching temperature, between 160-180°F (71-82°C).
• Stir the water in a clockwise direction to create a whirlpool. Once the water slows down slightly, crack the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Let the egg cook until the white fully sets and the yolk is no longer runny, 3-5 minutes.
• Remove the egg with a slotted spoon, pat dry on paper towels, sprinkle salt and pepper (optional).
• Serve with your favorite breakfast items.
• Enjoy!

EASY POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• In a 12-inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and sides of pan. Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolks). When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
• Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water. If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving.

POACHED EGG TIPS

Steps:

• Always use fresh eggs. If you can't see the difference between the "thick" white and the "thin" white, the yolks will probably break in the pan. Always deliver the eggs to the pan with a custard cup or large spoon. Avoid cracking directly into the pan. When using a non-stick skillet cook in no more than an inch of water. If you don't have a non-stick pan, poach in a deep saucepan containing at least 3 inches of water. Always acidulate the poaching liquid with either vinegar or lemon juice (1 tsp per each cup of water). Bring liquid to a boil, add eggs, then remove from heat and cover. How long you ask? It depends on how many eggs. I like my yolks barely runny so I'll cook 4 eggs for 7 to 8 minutes depending on their size. Since more eggs will absorb more heat from the water, they will take longer to cook, so for large batches always include an extra "test" egg. Always remove eggs with a slotted spoon. Poached eggs can be refrigerated in ice water for up to 8 hours, then reheated in hot water. Do not re-boil.

POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook the peppers until soft, about 5 minutes; set aside and keep warm.
• Split the English muffin and brush the cut sides with some of the remaining olive oil. Toast lightly under the broiler and keep warm.
• Bring 2-inches of water to a boil in a large skillet and add the vinegar. Reduce the water to a simmer and gently break the eggs into the water. Cook until the whites are set and feel firm, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, put the toasted English muffins on a plate and top them with the ham. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them onto the ham. Add the cooked peppers and sprinkle over the Parmesan. Now that's a Poached Egg!!

POACHED EGGS TECHNIQUE

Steps:

• Put water 1-1/2 inches deep in a large skillet and bring to boil.
• Add salt and vinegar for a fimer but less shiny egg.
• Reduce heat to a slow simmer.
• One at a time, break eggs into a saucer and slip into barely simmering water, keeping eggs as separated as possible.
• Cover skillet untill egg whites coat over yolks.
• Remove cover. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until whites are firm but yolks are still soft when touched with the back of a spoon.
• With a slotted pancake turner, lift each egg from the water and rest on a folded paper towel to absorb excess water.
• Trim away the loose thin white.
• Place on serving plate or recipe calling for poached egg.

POACHED EGG A LA KING

Steps:

• *Turkey and pimientos are optional, but we liked 'em.
• In large frying pan with a cover, sauté onions in butter until soft and transparent on medium high heat.
• Add flour, mix well and brown (this happens very fast; be ready with the liquids).
• Pour milk and broth in pan, mixing with whisk until completely combined.
• Bring to a boil, whisking and scraping the bottom constantly; there should be no lumps, so mash any you may find.
• Toss in turkey and pimientos and bring JUST back to a boil.
• Slide eggs gently into bubbling broth and decrease heat to simmer.
• Cover pan for 10 minutes to poach eggs.
• Serve on open faced biscuits. Sprinkle with chives (or parsley).

PERFECT POACHED EGG

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature to low--the water is ready when you see bubbles at the bottom of the pot, but there should be no bubbles breaking the surface of the water.
• Crack egg into a small-mesh sieve, allow it to drain, and then transfer the egg to a small bowl or ramekin in order to avoid a runny egg white. This step will give you a better-shaped poached egg with tighter whites.
• When water is at the right temperature, stir in about 1 tablespoon white vinegar which helps the egg white coagulate. Using a spoon, swirl the water in the center of the pot into a vortex or whirlpool, and carefully add egg to the center. Cook until egg white is set, but the yolk is still soft and runny, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the egg to a paper towel to remove excess water using a slotted spoon. Serve immediately.

FARM-FRESH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a wide pan with 4 cups water (about 3 inches deep) and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, turn the heat down to just below a simmer (there should be no bubbles).
• Crack eggs open into a ramekin. Transfer eggs into a soup ladle, and working quickly and gently, angle your soup ladle so the eggs slip into the water.
• Set a timer for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, use a slotted spoon to lift your eggs from the water, one at a time. Give each a little jiggle to check that the whites are set. If not, dip back in for 30 seconds more. Remove and serve immediately with salt and pepper. Your yolk should run when pierced with a fork.
