Poached egg in cling film

Cookinero 7 Mar 2025

Poached eggs are a traditional breakfast dish in France. They are also the basis of some other recipes. For example, eggs Benedict. In addition, French chefs like to add them to soups and broths. Cooking eggs as a separate dish in Russia began several centuries ago. And scrambled eggs remained a festive dish for a long time. At the beginning of the 19th century, the famous French chef Marie-Antoine Carême was invited to the court of Emperor Alexander I. The first thing that surprised the foreign chef was the poached egg.
