Cooking poached eggs in a bag
1. Find comfortable cups or small cups and place a plastic wrap or bag in them.
2. Pour eggs gently into each container to keep the yolk intact. If you wish, you can season them with a little salt, or you can salt the dish already ready-made. Since the eggs will be boiled in a bag, the salt will not destroy the protein structure.
3. Gather the edges of the bag and tie them in a knot to prevent the egg from spilling out.
4. Fill the pot with water and place it on the stove to boil. Dip the eggs in the bag into it.
5. After boiling water, reduce the temperature and cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes.
6. After this time, take the bag by the bundle and remove it from the pan so as not to burn yourself. Untie the bag and gently remove the egg, helping with a dessert spoon, so as not to break the white and not spill the yolk. Place ready-made eggs on a serving plate, garnish with herbs and serve.
