Although I know my way around a kitchen pretty well, I can never successfully poach an egg. Hot water splashes everywhere. Eggshells fall in the water. Boiling action totally decimates any hope of egg white. The yolk sticks to the bottom of the pan, splitting everywhere when I try to scoop it out. The finished result: soupy, frustrated, breakfast-less Grumpy Socks Abbie. It’s not pretty.
But, apparently this morning I got up on the brave side of the bed and I decided to conquer my fear of the poached egg. Enter Smitten Kitchen (a cooking blog that everyone should read). iPhone in hand, I tackled this eggie beast, Smitten Kitchen talking me through the battle. The result:
TAAAA-DAAAAA! Perfectly Poached Eggs. Amazing, I know…
So, if you ever wake up with the worst desire for some eggie awesome, check out the Smitten Kitchen lesson here, and get poachin’. You won’t end up in a soupy, frustrated, breakfast-less mess. I promise.
