About Poached egg
A poached egg is a simple yet nutritious dish made by cooking an egg outside its shell in gently simmering water. Originating from European cuisine, it is a popular choice in breakfast and brunch menus worldwide. The technique preserves the creamy texture of the yolk while delivering a delicate, tender white. Packed with protein, essential amino acids, and various vitamins like B12, poached eggs are an excellent energy-boosting option. They are also a source of healthy fats, including omega-3s, especially if they come from pasture-raised hens. Since poaching uses no additional oil or butter, they are lower in calories and saturated fats compared to fried eggs. However, overconsumption of eggs can contribute to cholesterol intake for certain individuals. Versatile and nutrient-rich, poached eggs pair well with whole grains, vegetables, or lean proteins, making them a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
