Poached Eggs
My husband was recently confined with Covid 19 Virus, and he was very sick. One of the breakfast that he wanted the most was poached eggs, this was his favorite breakfast, he said it always made him feel better. This is what his plate looked like every morning. Canadian Bacon poached eggs, a little pad of butter on yes, that is what you see, his requested "white bread", with a large cup of Orange Juice. When someone is as sick as he was you just give them whatever they will eat. Commonly served on English Muffins, I just happened not to have those while in quarentine, but we sure had plenty of his favorite "white bread". We have stopped a long time ago on selling him on the benifits of whole wheat bread.
The Journey
My huband writes a little post on his face book page every Sunday for his friends, it is just a little news and country humor, that he calls Sunday Reflections. When he was positive for Covid 19 he made a decision to document his journey daily on his reflections in hopes that it would help others taking the same journey and it did. One of the request he often had was the recipe for his poached eggs that he was getting for breakfast, I am so happy to share it with you today!
How To Cook A Poached Egg
I Start With a Stainless Steel Stew Pot Filled With Water
Just Add A little Salt and Vinegar To The Water
Let It Come To A Boil
Make Sure You Crack Your Eggs Into A Seperate Container
Then Set Them Aside
When The Water Comes To A Boil
Very Gently Drop The Eggs Into The Water
Cook The Eggs Then Gently Lift Them Out With A Slotted Spoon
This Is Where The Magic Happens

Draining The Water From The Eggs As Best You Can
Poached Egg
Miz Helen's Kitchen
Ingredients
Eggs
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
Directions
Crack each egg into a cup and set aside
In a large stock pot add about 6 inches of water and heat to just under a boil. You want to get your water to about 185 to 190 degrees and try to keep it there until the process is complete.
Add the salt and the vinegar.
Begin stirring in the center of the pan until the water has a really good swirl going.
Quickly drop one egg at a time very carefully into the swirling water. Don't crowd your pan or the eggs won't cook right.
Cook about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon draining as much water from the egg as you can.

ReplyDeleteI am incredibly happy to learn your husband is getting better! PS, poached eggs are also a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to cook him what he likes or will eat. I hope he is feeling better. You are so lucky he was at home and you could care for him. How are you doing? I fed my mother ice cream when she was sick it was the only thing she would eat. BTW I gave her frozen yogurt but she has happy with it.
