A wise choice for those watching their
diets, poached eggs prepared in water contain no added fat.
Ingredients:
(Makes 1-2 servings)
-
Eggs
-
1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil OR
cooking spray
-
Salt & black pepper powder to taste
Preperation :
-
In an omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter
until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. (If very large pan is used,
more butter will be needed.)
-
Break and slip eggs into pan. Immediately reduce heat to low.
Cook slowly until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are
not hard, covering with lid, spooning butter over eggs to baste or turning eggs
to cook both sides.
-
Sprinkle salt & pepper powder as per taste & serve hot.
MICROWAVE:
-
Omit butter. Break and slip eggs into lightly greased or sprayed
pie plate. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with
plastic wrap.
-
Cook on 50% power just until eggs are almost done, about 2 to 3
minutes. Let stand, covered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to
thicken but are not hard, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
-
Sprinkle salt & pepper powder as per taste & serve hot.
