Growing up, a favorite movie of mine was "Runaway Bride." The main character, Maggie, is so lost that she doesn't even know what type of eggs she likes. She always likes whatever type of eggs her current boyfriend likes. After seeing the new movie "Julie and Julia" (fabulous, by the way) I realized that I have never poached an egg. Then I thought...what type of eggs do I like? I'm not a big omelette person. I enjoy a fried egg with a runny middle on occasion, and scrambled eggs are OK if they are cooked correctly. I like boiled eggs, especially on salads or deviled. So, I like eggs, but which on is my favorite?
As I spent the time I should have been practicing, thinking about eggs, I remembered Christmas mornings as a child. My mom would prepare on eggs benedict. Yum. That is my favorite way to have an egg. So, after making this realization I wanted to know how you make eggs benedict. How do you make hollandaise sauce? I looked it up. You need to poach the eggs. I also looked up the nutritional facts...they are unfortunate for your health. I can't eat eggs benedict every day...I would be bigger than a house. I also looked up the healthiest way to eat an egg: poached. Hence me learning to poach eggs. 2 good reasons to poach: healthy when eaten alone...not so healthy, but delcious when making eggs benedict. Maybe keeping eggs benedict as a holiday treat would serve me well, until then poaching an egg and serving it on toast with a dash of salt and pepper will do for me.
This morning I made a beautiful poached egg. The best one yet. I almost took a picture of it to show, will do next time.
