Back in my youth when we didn't have that much money for groceries, my Mom made this once in awhile. It was cheap, but it was also very filling.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 0

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.

Time 10m

Yield Makes 3 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 1

3 or 4 large 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.

CHEF JOHN'S POACHED EGGS



Chef John's Poached Eggs image

Here's a new and improved version of our poached egg method. Nothing too complicated here; we pretty much poach eggs like everybody else, except we've got a little step in the middle that makes it easier if you're doing this for a larger group.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, as fresh as possible

Steps:

  • Fill a bowl with ice water.
  • Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat; stir in vinegar and salt. Bring to a gentle, slow simmer and reduce heat to low.
  • Break each egg into a separate small ramekin; place a ramekin close to the surface of the water and gently pour egg into the simmering water. Let egg white set for a minute or two and use a silicone spatula to gently lift egg from the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Cook until white is firm and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes.
  • Lift poached egg from water using a slotted spoon and transfer gently to bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Reheat eggs for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in very gently simmering water and remove with a slotted spoon. Tap bottom of slotted spoon containing egg on a dry paper towel to remove any excess water before serving.

CHICKEN à LA KING



Chicken à la King image

Among the many stories regarding the origins of this dish, the one we deemed "most likely, and most likely to succeed" came to us in 1944. E. Clarke King of Dayton, Ohio, sent us "the original recipe," which he claimed had been invented by George Greenwald, head chef at New York's Brighton Beach Hotel, for his parents (who owned the hotel) in the early 1900s.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 cups chicken broth (14 fl oz)
1 1/2 lb skinless boneless chicken breast halves
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 each yellow, red, and orange bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 lb white mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons dry Sherry, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika (not hot)
6 (1/2-inch-thick) slices firm white sandwich bread (preferably Pullman), toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put broth and chicken in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat, uncovered. Turn chicken over and gently poach at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Pour broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof 2-cup measure and reserve for sauce.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 4- to 5-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook peppers, stirring, until softened (do not brown), 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Add onion and remaining 3 tablespoons butter to pot and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and reduce heat to low, then cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Whisk in 3/4 cup broth, then all of cream and mushrooms, and simmer until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together yolks, lemon juice, Sherry, and paprika in a small bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup sauce, then stir yolk mixture back into sauce remaining in pot. Cook over low heat, stirring (do not simmer, or sauce will curdle), until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
  • Cut chicken crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices and add along with peppers to sauce, then cook over low heat (do not simmer, or sauce will curdle), stirring occasionally, until chicken and peppers are just heated through. Add more broth to thin if desired.
  • Spoon chicken à la king over toast on 6 plates, then sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will poach more evenly and have a better flavor.
  • Bring the water to a simmer, not a boil. Boiling water will toughen the eggs.
  • Add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the water. This will help the eggs hold their shape.
  • Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Poached eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to add protein to your diet. With a little practice, you can easily poach eggs at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give poached eggs a try!
