A bagged egg is ideal for a light yet nutritious breakfast. It is served with toasted toast or sauce, placed on a sandwich, and sometimes even dipped in broth. You can boil an egg in a bag in the usual way, as well as without the shell. The main thing is to correctly calculate the cooking time so that the egg has the desired consistency, but not overcooked.
It is necessary
-
- eggs;
- vinegar;
- salt;
- timer.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash eggs thoroughly before boiling. Dip them in a pot of cold water and place them on the stove. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and keep eggs in boiling water for 4-5 minutes. Use a timer for accurate timing. Remove the pan from the heat, drain the boiling water and pour cold water over the hot eggs. After that, the shell can be removed without difficulty. A properly boiled egg in a bag has a soft white, and the yolk remains runny.
Step 2
You can try another way. Boil water in a saucepan and gently use a spoon to dip the eggs into it, one at a time. Time yourself - they will acquire the desired consistency in 5-6 minutes. Do not put eggs freshly removed from the refrigerator in boiling water - due to the temperature difference, they may crack, and the protein may leak out.
Step 3
A very exquisite dish - poached eggs, boiled without shells. Pour water into a saucepan, add salt and vinegar, bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer the water. Crack the egg gently, being careful not to damage the yolk, and pour it into the ladle. Place the runny egg in a saucepan of quietly boiling water. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate. If you need to cook multiple servings, cook the eggs one at a time so as not to spoil their shape. Serve with toasted toast and mustard sauce.
Step 4
Poached can also be boiled in broth. Instead of water, boil bone broth or meat broth, add vinegar and salt to it. Reduce heat and release eggs one at a time from the simmering liquid. Cook for 4-5 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon. These eggs can be served with sour cream sauce and croutons, or they can be added to a bowl of broth or soup.
