Egg poaching is a cooking technique where eggs are gently simmered in water or broth to achieve a tender, custard-like texture. Originating as a staple in European cuisine, particularly French culinary traditions, poached eggs are popular worldwide and often featured in recipes like eggs Benedict or served atop salads and grain bowls. This method requires no added fat, making it a healthier option compared to frying or scrambling with oil or butter. Poached eggs are rich in protein, essential vitamins such as B12 and D, and key minerals like iron and selenium. They are low in calories, but their nutritional properties can vary based on accompanying ingredients. Pairing poached eggs with nutrient-dense sides like vegetables enhances their health benefits, while serving them with high-fat sauces may reduce their overall nutritional value.
