Poached egg - Enjoy the melting yolk

What inspired me to write today was the quote “Write to Express, Not to Impress”. I was randomly reading a few articles yesterday when I came across an article which explained why we should write to express.

Today when I woke up, I thought of doing something different which I had not done before. “Poached Egg!” - is what came to my mind. I am not a cooking fan but when it comes to trying some new recipes which are easy and quick, I like to give a try.

And this what I came up with….



A lovely breakfast to kick-start my day. 

All I used was a pan, water, salt, egg, toast, pepper powder and lettuce leaves for garnishing.

Here is the recipe
Ingredients: 
  • Egg 
  • Pinch of salt 
  • Water - I filled water in pan till ⅓ of my index finger 
  • Toasted bread 

Garnishing: 
  • Pinch of pepper powder 
  • Lettuce leaves cut finely 

Directions: 
  • Add water in pan and turn on flame 
  • Add salt as per your taste 
  • Once you notice tiny bubbles on the pan surface, break an egg and pour it gently in the water. (Make sure that the flame is not too high.) 
  • Let it cook on low to medium flame. After a minute or two, try to lift the egg gently if it is stuck to the pan. 
  • Once done, remove it from the water and keep it aside to drain. 

How I presented it to myself?  
Place the egg on toasted bread. Sprinkle pepper powder and salt. Add lettuce leaves and give a slight cut to the egg yolk.

Here is my poached egg with melting yolk ready for my breakfast 😋

    1. Try adding vinegar in the water and when you serve the egg, pour little extra virgin olive oil. This will add to the flavors. I will try this next time.
