#RandomThoughts Nothing gives more pleasure in the morning than having a couple of rightly done poached eggs at breakfast with toasted bread and a cup of black coffee.
Eggs can be had boiled , scrambled and as omelette too. It remains as tasty. In fact hard boiled and semi boiled eggs have their own set of supporters . And scrambled eggs or an omelette can be innovatively done with additions. But , as a test of culinary skill , poached eggs are way ahead. Because it's so simple to prepare them but so difficult to get the right shape , texture and taste.
A truly done poached egg should neither be burnt at the bottom, nor the yolk should be running around when poked. Again, they can be done with oil which is easier and on water , which really needs finesse and a good flat pan with thick bottom. Importantly, it also depends on the mood of the cook .
The yolk should resemble molten butter and retain the smell. Just a dash of salt and pepper and well , you have your minute of unalloyed joy as your taste buds welcome it to a hungry stomach .
Bon appetit and have a wonderful day. #vignettesoflife
