ChatGPT

  1. poached egg

    A poached egg is an egg that has been cooked, outside the shell, by poaching it in simmering water. The egg white is fully cooked, while the yolk remains runny, providing a rich, creamy texture. The technique involves carefully breaking the egg into the water and allowing it to cook until the white has solidified but the yolk is still soft. This type of egg is often served on toast or used in dishes like Eggs Benedict.

Wikidata

  1. Poached egg

This method of preparation is favored because a very consistent and predictable result can be attained with precise timing, as the boiling point of water removes the temperature variable from the cooking process.
