Kittencals Perfect Poached Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Grease a saucepan with a very small amount of melted butter or margarine (do not use cooking spray it will affect the taste of the eggs).
• Add in cold water to a depth of 2-inches in the saucepan.
• Add in milk and a pinch of salt to the water; bring to a boil then reduce to a light simmer.
• Holding the egg as close as possible to the simmering water break eggs one at a time into the water.
• Simmer over very low heat for 5 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Carefully remove eggs with a slotted spoon.

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.

Steps:

• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise; remove the yolks, and set whites aside.
• In a small bowl, mush yolks well with a fork, leaving no small lumps.
• Add next 10 ingredients (adjusting to suit taste) mix well to combine.
• Spoon or pipe egg yolk mixture evenly into the whites.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
• Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve (if not making the yolk mixture a day ahead it is best to prepare the eggs and refrigerate for about 5 hours before serving this will give the flavors a chance to blend and intensify).

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until just fork-tender.
• Lift out with a slotted spoon into a large bowl.
• Sprinkle with white wine vinegar, then cool to room temperature; cover refrigerate for minimum of 2 hours.
• Meanwhile mix together the mayo, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Finely mince up the egg yolks with a fork and then add to the mayo mixture, whisk until combined (there will be some small pieces of yolk, not to worry!).
• After the 2 hours of chilling time, cut the potatoes into desired size cubes, then mix in the green onions, celery, parsley and chopped egg whites (add in any other ingredients you desire also).
• Pour over the dressing and mix well to combine.
• Season with more salt and pepper.
• Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Pour 2 tablespoons of vinegar into the poaching water.
• Crack open eggs one at a time, into a small bowl.
• Bring the water to a boil, then reduce temperature.
• When water reaches a gentle simmer, pour egg into a ladle.
• Gently transfer eggs into simmering water.
• The egg whites will coagulate instantly & the vinegar will change the pH level of the poaching water.
• Poach the eggs for 3 minutes spooning the simmering water over the eggs.
• When the whites become opaque and feel firm to the touch they are done.
• Gently remove eggs with a slotted spoon and lay them on sheets of paper towel to dry.
• Serve immediately.
