I had “lightblub” moment the other morning, while debating what I was going to make for breakfast.
This spark of inspiration followed the lines of poaching eggs in plastic bags so they can each have a different flavour. To my amazement this turned out to be really easy.
I tried three flavours:
- Sumac and Parmesan
- Five Spice
- Chilli Flakes
All of which tasted great, although I’ll try some more adventurous combinations next time e.g. chopped herbs and fetta. Having everything sealed in a plastic bag means I don’t have to worry about making a mess.
The process was rather simple:
Take a zip lock sandwich bag turn it inside out and place over cup or small bowl. Crack in an egg and our chosen ingredients.
For poaching I recommend a double pot (one inside the other) as the walls of a single pot could be hot enough to melt the plastic bag. With a double you know its not going to exceed 100degC.
PS: remembered where the inspiration came from. I was reading an interview by the guys from Circa the Prince who love to cook fish in cryo vac bags.
