Poached Egg Salads: 5 simple recipes

Poached Egg Salads: 5 simple recipes

Cooking a poached egg is not as difficult as it seems. And in this article, MustHub will first remind you how to make it yourself, and then offer 5 simple step-by-step recipes for poached egg salads. 

How to cook a poached egg?

  1. Heat 5-8 cm of water in a saucepan. The water should be hot, but not boiling. In boiling water, a poached egg will not work.
  2. Add salt, pepper and a tablespoon of vinegar to the water.
  3. Next, you need to make a funnel in the water (you can use a whisk).
  4. We need to act quickly: as soon as you get a funnel, pour the egg into the pan (but not into the funnel itself, but closer to the wall of the pan).
  5. Cook the egg for 3 minutes. Then carefully remove the egg from the water and put it on a paper towel to drain the water.
