I’ve made poached eggs here a number of times, but I don’t have much feedback from readers telling me whether you make poached eggs or if you’re just in need of a method so I decided to put together a video showing you how I make a poached egg.
Now, I may be pretty good in the kitchen, but it wasn’t until I came across the Gordon Ramsey method for egg poaching that I was able to get this technique under control and crate consistently good poached eggs.
Since I started this weight loss journey, I’m particularly fond of a poached egg on top of a … right, a tortilla. It rarely ever changes, but let’s have some fun with this. I’m in the mood for a giveaway so why don’t you tell me how you’d serve a beautiful, creamy poached egg and enter for a chance to win this brand-spanking-new non-stick paring knife.
I’ve had one of these knives in my knife drawer for years and it’s handy to have around. Sharp, the right size and who can resist the color?
I received the knife at this years’s BlogHerFood event in Atlanta for entering the Mango Mentor competition, put on by the National Mango Board. It’s a nonstick paring knife and when needed, can be sharpened. So come on in and enter for your own red paring knife and make the small cuts easy.
Here’s how to win:
Tell me what you would serve with your poached egg by posting a comment below.
To select the winner I’ll use a random number generator and will notify via email.
The contest will close in one week, on Saturday, October 29th at 11:59pm, EST. Be sure to include your email address in your comment so I can write to you if you win.
But what does this have to do with poaching an egg? I have NO IDEA! I just wanted to give something away to ThinRecipes readers. I’m feeling good because at last wee’s weigh-in I passed another “decade.” No, not a birthday, a 10b. mark. You know, as in 150… 140… 130…
Now, let’s talk about the poached egg; the reason I wrote this post and created the video. The beauty of an egg is that it only costs 2 Weight Watchers Points Plus values or just 70 calories. I love a creamy yolk and poach my egg just to the point of the white setting. It feels so decadent to eat a poached egg and isn’t time consuming or difficult. The video below will show you the technique that works every time.
Check out the video and you’ll be making poached eggs part of your diet too.
