Poached Eggs
Serves: 1
Poached eggs are so simple to make and, cooked without any fat, they are really healthy too.
Ingredients
1 Large Scottish
Produced Quality Egg
Water for boiling
Pinch of salt
Dash of
vinegar
Warmed, buttered muffin or toast to serve (optional)
Method
3 minutes for a completely runny egg yolk
4 minutes for a slightly set
yolk with a runny middle
5 minutes for a firm egg yolk
When the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the poached egg from the boiling water using a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to drain. Serve immediately on a warmed, buttered roll or slice of buttered toast.
Microwave Method
For extra speed use the
microwave. Carefully crack the egg into a large teacup or ramekin dish filled
with 1/2 tbsp of water. Use a cocktail stick to pierce the yolk and white in a
couple of places and poach in the microwave on HIGH for 40 seconds (750 Watt
oven)/60 seconds (650 Watt oven). Stand for 1 minute and serve.
