Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare all the necessary products. In general, we will only need an egg and salt. We will be salting a ready-made dish, so you can use not ordinary table salt, but also flavored salt, for example, Svan or Adyghe. Pay special attention to the choice of eggs. Preferably a homemade egg, at least with. Such an egg differs not only in its large size, but also has a brightly colored yolk, which will give the dish brightness.
Step 2:
Prepare a small bowl. Put a piece of food wrap on top so that its ends hang freely along the edges.
Step 3:
Use a cooking brush to lubricate the film with a drop of any vegetable oil.
Step 4:
Wash the egg well. Pay special attention to this process, because the surface of the eggshell contains a large number of bacteria. Therefore, wash the eggs thoroughly with hot water, preferably using a special brush and food detergent. Now there are already washed eggs on sale, so you can use them, but keep in mind that their shelf life is usually less than that of ordinary eggs.
Step 5:
Carefully drive the egg into the film, be sure to keep the yolk intact. Lift the edges of the film and twist the egg, trying to leave no air inside.
Step 6:
Boil water in a saucepan.Gently lower the egg in the film into boiling water. Cook at a constant low boil for 4-5 minutes. The protein should grip well, and the yolk should be half cooked.
Step 7:
Take out the egg wrap and cool it a little.
Step 8:
Carefully separate the film from the egg itself and add salt to the finished product. If desired, season the egg with some favorite spices: ground hot pepper, garlic powder or paprika, preferably smoked, will be very appropriate. Or maybe you decide to sprinkle the finished poached egg with fresh dill or green onions - choose to your taste.
Step 9:
Serve the poached egg with fresh bread and seasonal vegetables. Bon appetit!
