Poached Egg with Sauce is a simple yet elegant dish found in various cuisines, including French and American breakfast traditions. A poached egg is gently cooked by submerging it in just-below-boiling water, resulting in a tender white and a perfectly runny yolk. The accompanying sauce varies by recipe, ranging from creamy hollandaise in Eggs Benedict to tangy tomato-based sauces in shakshuka-inspired dishes. This dish is rich in protein from the egg, which supports muscle repair and energy. It’s also a source of essential vitamins like B12 and choline, promoting brain health. However, depending on the sauce, it can be high in butter, cream, or sodium, which may not align with lower-calorie or heart-healthy diets. Pairing the egg with a lighter or vegetable-based sauce can create a balanced and nutritious option suitable for dietary preferences or restrictions.
