Poached Scrambled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Crack each egg into a medium-mesh sieve (or narrow-slotted spoon), letting the thin white drain away. Transfer the remaining yolk and white to a small bowl. Beat the eggs vigorously with a fork for 20 seconds.
• Set a medium saucepan filled with 4 inches of water over moderate heat. Put a strainer in the sink. When the water is at a low boil, add a few large pinches of salt, then stir in a clockwise direction to create a whirlpool. Pour the eggs into the moving water, cover the pot and count to 20.
• Turn off the heat and uncover the pot. The eggs should be floating on the surface in ribbons. While holding back the eggs with a spoon, pour off most of the water over the strainer. Gently slide the eggs into the strainer and press them lightly to expel any excess liquid.
• Scoop the eggs into bowls, drizzle with olive oil if desired and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Crack two eggs into a bowl. Look for the egg whites to be thick, which means the eggs are fresh. If you see thin whites, place the egg into a slotted spoon: the thick part will stay on top while the rest drips through.
• Use a fork to beat the eggs for 30 seconds. This brings the whites and yolks together and brings a lot of air into the eggs.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Stick a fork into the boiling water and move it around in a clockwise direction to make a whirlpool. Pour the eggs in and put the lid on the saucepan. Count to 20. Turn off the heat and remove the cover. The eggs will have set like a "raft" on top of the water. To remove the eggs, gently pour out most of the water, then place the eggs in a fine mesh strainer. Put the drained eggs in a serving bowl and drizzle with fruity olive oil to taste; add a sprinkle of flaky salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh chives.

Steps:

• Set a medium saucepan filled with at least 4 inches of water over moderate heat. Bring to a low boil.

• Put a strainer in the sink. When the water is at a low boil, add a few large pinches of salt, then stir the water to create a whirlpool. Pour the eggs into the moving water, cover the pot and count to 20.

Steps:

• Add the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small bowl and whisk with a fork until frothy. Set aside.
• Add about 2 inches of water to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer (about 190 degrees F) over medium heat. Small tiny bubbles should come up to the surface, but not large bursting ones.
• Stir the water vigorously with a small whisk several times in a circular motion so it creates a whirlpool. Immediately pour in the eggs. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat and let stand until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes.
• Lift the eggs out with a fine-mesh sieve and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to a serving plate and season with salt and pepper.
