About Egg poached

Poached eggs are a classic preparation method originating in European cuisine, widely enjoyed across the globe. Made by gently cooking eggs in simmering water, this technique results in a tender egg white encasing a yolk that remains soft and creamy. Since no oil or butter is required, poaching is a lower-calorie alternative to frying or scrambling. Eggs themselves are an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins like B12 and D, and minerals such as selenium and choline, supporting muscle health, energy production, and overall well-being. While eggs are nutrient-dense, their cholesterol content may be a consideration for individuals with specific health concerns. Poached eggs pair effortlessly with other healthy foods like whole-grain toast, vegetables, or avocado, making them a versatile choice for balanced meals. Their simplicity and wholesome qualities have cemented their role in breakfast dishes and beyond in many cuisines worldwide.
