Lost Eggs – Poached Eggs

In addition to the classic preparation, there are now numerous aids that make the preparation of poached eggs much easier.

Ingredients & Shopping list
- 4 fresh eggs
- 2 l water
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
Preparation
- Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Vinegar and salt add. The vinegar causes the protein to coagulate more quickly. Reduce the heat so that the water only simmered slightly.
- Beat the eggs one by one, put them in a cup and pour them into the hot water, one at a time, close to the edge.
If you want to get a compact form, proceed as follows:
- Hold a ladle in the hot water. Put an egg in it. As soon as the egg begins to stagnate, slide the egg into the water.
- The egg is ready when the egg white is solid all around. The egg yolk should still be runny. This takes about 5 minutes per egg.
- Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon.
Tips & Hints
The lost eggs can be used in many ways, for example on bread or with a sauce. They can be prepared the day before. To do this, drain the eggs and store them in a cool place. They are reheated in warm water or a sauce.
