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.
