Cooking methods
Depending on the skill level of the cook, you can use two methods of preparing breakfast.
First way
You can quickly boil an egg without a shell directly in water, as professional chefs do. To do this you will need the following products and ingredients:
- Two raw chicken eggs;
- A liter of boiling water;
- A pinch of salt;
- A teaspoon of vinegar;
- Skimmer;
- A saucepan or bowl with a wide bottom;
- Tablespoon.
Step-by-step instruction
1. Bring water to boil over high heat. As soon as the water begins to boil, reduce the boiling power.
2. Season the boiling water with salt and vinegar (optional).
3. Using a circular motion of a spoon, create a small whirlpool in a saucepan of boiling water.
4. Pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. To do this, it is carefully hit against the side with the shell, opening it above the epicenter of the whirlpool.
5. Using a tablespoon, gather the edges of the egg into a single whole.Using a spoon, you need to lightly direct the resulting egg threads into the center, which try to spread out in different directions. It is important not to touch the white too much, so as not to accidentally catch the yolk and disrupt its integrity.
6. As soon as the water with the beaten egg boils, set the timer to 90 seconds.
7. When the timer goes off, remove the poached meat from the boiling water with a slotted spoon. It is necessary to hold the finished dish over the plate for a few seconds to allow excess water to drain off.
Second way
An easier way to prepare poached meat is to use additional equipment. It makes it easier to pour the egg into boiling water in one ball.
Equipment and products
- A saucepan with boiling water;
- A pinch of salt;
- Tablespoon;
- Bowl;
- Skimmer;
- Chicken eggs.
Step-by-step instruction
1. Stir the boiling water with a spoon, making a whirlpool.
2. Throw a pinch of salt into boiling water and turn the heat down to low.
Advice. When using this option, try not adding the vinegar. The egg will already be formed due to the use of the bowl.
3. A raw egg is broken with a sharp knife over a bowl. You need to hit the knife as hard as you can so as not to break the yolk.
4. Having tilted the bowl over the epicenter of the whirlpool, the egg is poured out.
5. The spreading edges of the protein are also collected towards the center with a spoon.
6. Boil the egg for one and a half to two minutes.
7. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and allow the water to drain.
How to serve
A hot boiled egg without the shell takes on a pliable texture. The white turns out soft and silky, the yolk takes on a caramel consistency and is a little stretchy.
To make poached meat an addition to a healthy and nutritious breakfast, it is served with toast grated with a clove of garlic (on a day off, when you don’t need to go anywhere and the smell won’t interfere with communication).Place a piece of cheese and herbs on top of the toast. Poached vegetables are placed on top of the greens. You can cut the white so that the yolk flows onto the toast.
