About Poached eggs
Poached eggs are a simple yet elegant dish made by cooking eggs in simmering water until the whites are set and the yolks remain creamy. Believed to have origins in French cuisine, they are a staple in many cultures and frequently featured in brunch dishes like Eggs Benedict or served atop salads and grain bowls. Poaching involves no added fats, making them a healthy option compared to fried or scrambled eggs cooked with oils or butter. Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as selenium and phosphorus. They also contain healthy fats, particularly in the yolk. However, for those monitoring cholesterol intake, the yolk is high in dietary cholesterol, which may require moderation for individuals with certain health concerns. Overall, poached eggs are a nutritious and versatile choice for various meals, offering flavor and nutrients in a low-fat preparation method.
