Poached eggs are a classic preparation made by gently cooking eggs in simmering water, yielding tender whites and creamy, runny yolks. Originating from various culinary traditions, they are often associated with European cuisines, particularly French and British cooking, and feature prominently in dishes like Eggs Benedict or atop salads and grain bowls. Packed with protein, vitamins B12 and D, and essential minerals like selenium and choline, poached eggs offer a nutritious option for sustained energy and cellular health. They are naturally low in carbohydrates and free of added fats when prepared without oil or butter, making them heart-healthy when consumed in moderation. However, pairing with high-calorie or processed foods, such as heavy hollandaise sauces or refined carbs, can add saturated fats and sodium. This versatile food balances taste and nutrition, making it an excellent choice for breakfast or as a topping for nutrient-dense meals.
