Fresh eggs gently poached until the whites are tender and set around warm, flowing yolks.
About poached eggs
Poached eggs are whole shelled eggs cooked directly in hot water without added fat. This profile follows a vinegar-free classic technique that keeps the yolks soft and the whites neat.
The flavour is clean and purely egg-led, with a rich yolk and delicate cooked white rather than browned or fried notes.
Each egg is compact and softly rounded, with an opaque tender white surrounding a glossy golden, flowing centre.
