Perfectly Poached Eggs with Dijon Sauce
Description
This recipe includes poaching eggs by first draining excess loose egg white through a mesh sieve, then simmering eggs in nearly boiling water without stirring, to maintain form and tenderness. The poached eggs cook for 3-5 minutes depending on desired yolk doneness.
The Dijon sauce is a simple blend of plain yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and diced green onion, balancing creaminess with tang and a mild sharpness. The eggs are served hot with the sauce spooned over or alongside.
These poached eggs make a versatile protein accompaniment for breakfast or brunch, pairing well with toast or vegetable sides. The sauce adds flavor without overwhelming the egg's natural taste.
Ingredients
- 4 egg
- ¼ cup PLAIN yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt pinch
- black pepper pinch
- green onion diced
Instructions
- Bring about 3" water to boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer. Do NOT swirl the water before adding the egg.
- Set a mesh sieve in sink or over a bowl, and crack 1 egg into sieve. Allow egg to drain for a few seconds, and then carefully pour egg into the water. Repeat for each egg. Cooking Tip: Keep in mind that you are not separating the egg yolk from the egg white while straining. When straining, simply watch for a portion of the egg white to slip through the sieve. Once it stops straining, you can move on to the next step.Mesh Sieve Tip: If you're using s super-fine mesh sieve or a nylon sieve, the egg will take about 2-3 minutes to drain. A standard mesh sieve will only take a few seconds.
- Simmer eggs 3-5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon. Set eggs on a paper towel to get rid of excess water.
- To prepare sauce, add all remaining ingredients into a small bowl and mix together.
- Serve eggs hot with the sauce.
