Eggs Poached in Red Wine image

This 2006 recipe from Mark Bittman takes that workhorse of the kitchen - the egg - and makes it a bit more glamorous. By cooking the eggs in simmering red wine, they become something even greater, worthy of a simple, but still indulgent, dinner.

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Extra virgin olive oil as needed
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
4 thick slices day-old good bread
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fruity red wine, like a young Brunello, pinot noir, or Chianti
4 eggs, removed from the shell
Grated pecorino or other hard cheese for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Put 3 or 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet and turn heat to medium. Add garlic and cook, turning occasionally, until it just begins to color. Lower heat a bit and add bread; sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper. Cook, turning once or twice, until bread is crusty and golden.
  • Meanwhile, heat wine in a saucepan, preferably one with sloping sides; add some salt. When wine boils, reduce heat to a low simmer. Carefully slip eggs in and cook, spooning wine over them, until whites are barely firm.
  • Scoop eggs into 2 or 4 bowls, along with some wine. Add a piece or two of bread to each bowl, garnish with cheese and parsley, and serve.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This dish was just okay. The eggs were cooked well, but the sauce was nothing special. I wouldn't go out of my way to make this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The eggs were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I don't know what I did wrong, but I will definitely not be making this again.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The red wine sauce was very heavy, and it overpowered the eggs. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had been a bit lighter.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of red wine. But I'm so glad I did! The sauce was surprisingly delicious, and it didn't overpower the eggs at all. I will definitely be making this again.

I've always been a fan of poached eggs, but this recipe takes them to a whole new level. The red wine sauce is so delicious, and it really complements the eggs perfectly. I also love the addition of shallots, which give the dish a nice savory flavor.
