Double Yolk Poaching
A lovely method to produce perfection.
Equipment
- 4 pieces clingfilm
- 4 standard cups
- 1 large saucepan
Ingredients
- 8 small eggs free range
Instructions
- Lightly oil a teacup, and press in a piece of clingfilm/saran wrap so it touches the bottom of the cup and overhangs the outside.
- Carefully crack two small free range eggs into each cup.
- You can add a little tabasco, herbs, salt and pepper etc. to flavour your eggs at this stage. Just add your flavours to your pouch. One sage leaf works amazingly.
- Gently gather the cling film sides up and tie a knot. You will have a eggs in a little pouch in effect.
- Repeat the process with the remaining eggs.
- Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer and add the pouches to the pan.
- Simmer away for 8 minutes. Lift one pouch out and squeeze to see if its cooked. The white should be set but the yolks will remain runny.
