    ... Gastrodamus predicted: poached eggs will be big in 2010.

    Were they?

    Yeah, that's about when garnishing all sorts of dishes with poached
    egg became a thing. As I recall I collected that tagline in 2009.

    Title: Black Pudding & Cheese Hash Browns W/Choron Sauce
    Categories: British, Offal, Potatoes, Cheese, Eggs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    450 g Potatoes
    1 ts Chives, chopped
    1 ts Parsley, chopped
    Salt
    Freshly ground pepper
    4 sl Good black pudding
    100 g Lancashire cheese, crumbled
    Vegetable oil, for
    Deep-frying
    20 g Clarified butter
    1 Granny Smith apple
    1 pn Sugar
    4 Poached eggs, to serve
    FOR THE CHORON SAUCE:
    2 Egg yolks
    2 ts Tomato puree
    250 g Clarified butter
    2 tb Warm water
    2 ts Lemon juice
    1 Good sprig of tarragon,
    Finely shredded
    1 sm Bunch of chervil, minced
    Salt

    Hash browns of black pudding and lancashire cheese with poached
    eggs and choron sauce

    Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add in the potatoes in their
    skins and parboil for 10 minutes. Drain and peel. Grate the peeled
    potatoes into a bowl and mix in the chives and parsley. Season
    with salt and freshly ground pepper. Pat out four circles from the
    potato mixture, making sure that they are larger than the black
    pudding slices.

    Place a slice of black pudding and a portion of the Lancashire
    cheese in the centre of each potato circle. Fold the potato circle
    over the filling and pat again into a circle.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep fat-fryer until hot. Add
    in the potato hash browns and fry until golden brown. Remove with
    a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and keep warm.

    Meanwhile, heat the clarified butter in a small heavy-based frying
    pan and fry the apple slices until golden, adding a pinch of sugar
    towards the end. Keep warm until serving.

    To make the choron sauce, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl over a pan
    of simmering water until lightly cooked. Whisk in the tomato
    puree, then gradually add in the clarified butter, whisking
    constantly. Whisk in the warm water, lemon juice, tarragon and
    chervil and season with salt. If the mixture becomes too thick,
    add a dash of water.

    Serve the hash brownies with poached eggs, fried apple and the
    choron sauce.

    Yeah, that's about when garnishing all sorts of dishes with poached
    egg became a thing. As I recall I collected that tagline in 2009.

    A lot of the chefs on the various cooking shows that we watch garnish
    with a sunny side up fried egg, with runny yolk. The judges seem to
    really like that. Personally, I would not do that to anywhere near the
    number of dishes that they do that to, but we do like a soft fried egg
    on top of any sort of hash.

    That's an old standby around here as well. I have a small non-stick
    skillet that will hold, comfortably, a can of whatever hash was on sale
    last when I stocked up. I open a 15 oz (or so) can of roast beef or
    corned beef hash as set it to cooking in my little skillet while I crack
    a couple of eggs (if dining alone) or four (if sharing) into a bowl. When
    I see the hash beginning to brown and crisp around the edges I decant
    the eggs onto the top of the cooking hash and put the lid over the pan.
    Check it periodically and when the whites are done it's ready to plate
    and eat. Quick, easy and tasty. If using Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash
    you may need pepper but probably not salt added at table. Bv)=

    Agreed, although we usually do a poached egg. We poach in a container
    that sits on a pan of boiling water, not poaching in vinegar water which
    I think is the traditional way.

    Have you ever done coddled eggs? They were moderately common in England
    when we were there. We have a set of containers for making them, but
    have only used them once or twice since we came back home.

    there are two ways to deal with poached eggs, aside from not
    doing them in the first place

    I much prefer fried. The little bit of added fat improves them so
    much. I still remember the way my elderly uncle, a widowed retired
    farmer, did eggs when I was visiting him as a kid. He had a cast
    iron pan reserved just for bacon and eggs. Every morning he would
    fry a generous amount of bacon very gently for breakfast, always
    keeping the fat. Then he would deep fry his eggs in the same pan.
    That pan had about two inches of bacon fat it all the time.


    Cheers

    we usually do a poached egg. We poach in a container that sits
    on a pan of boiling water, not poaching in vinegar water

    Roslind has one of those plastic microwave egg poachers. She adds
    1/2 tsp of water into each of the two cavities, cracks an egg into each
    one, pokes the yolks with a fork so that they don't explode, closes
    the lid and nukes them for 60 seconds.

    As I mentioned earlier, I prefer fried to poached and I have two 5"
    frying pans, one is cast iron and the other no-stick aluminum, that
    are perfect for a single egg (or one modest hamburger patty).

    Have you ever done coddled eggs? [...] common in England

    I suppose a coddled egg could be fully cooked if one had the
    patience but to me, they are merely undercooked eggs, whether they
    are coddled in the shell or a ramekin floating in a bain-amrie
    (double boiler). I like my whites fully set and I don't mind if the
    yolks are starting to thicken so long as they aren't hard and dry.

    Title: Anglesey Eggs
    Categories: British, Eggs, Cheese
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 pt Milk
    1 1/2 lb Leeks
    8 Eggs
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 tb Heaped Cornflour
    1 oz Butter
    1 pn Nutmeg
    2 oz Grated Caerphilly or
    -Cheddar cheese

    A Welsh recipe ...

    Trim the leeks and wash them thoroughly. Cut into 1 inch lengths.
    Put the milk ( or a milk / cream mixture) into a non-stick
    saucepan with the leeks and bring to the boil. If you like your
    leeks soft rather than slightly crisp, let them boil for a minute
    or two. Remove the leeks (leaving the milk in the pan) and put
    them into a baking dish. Put the eggs cold into boiling water and
    cook for exactly five minutes. Remove, cool and shell. The eggs
    should be soft in the middle but the whites will be firm. Lay the
    shelled eggs on the leeks.

    Make a white sauce by whisking in the cornflour, salt and butter
    and bring gently to the boil while you whisk. When the sauce is
    smooth, thick and glossy, pour it over the eggs and leeks,
    sprinkle the top with nutmeg and grated cheese and put it under
    the grill until it is hot and bubbling. Don't leave it too long or
    the eggs will be over-cooked. Serve at once with lots of crusty
    bread and butter.

    Jimznotes:

    "Cornflour" is of course corn starch.

    This is often served over a bed of mashed potatoes.

    My own white sauce would be well seasoned with white pepper,
    cayenne and mustard,

    "Huevos divorciados" (divorced eggs) are simply huevos
    rancheros but with a different sauce for each egg, usually a
    salsa roja and a salsa verde.

    I just bought a lovely prepared salsa verde: President's Choice
    Black Label Tomatillo Salsa, made in San Antonio. It's made with:
    tomatillos, jalapenos, onions, salt, white vinegar, cilantro, garlic
    lime juice and "spices".

    (Black Label is the best of Loblaw's many house brands and usually
    horribly expensive but this one was half price because it wasn't

    Title: The Story Behind Son-In-Law Eggs
    Categories: Thai, Eggs, Info
    Yield: 1 text file

    Eggs

    What's with the name of this dish? Is that what you're thinking?
    The Thai word for "egg" (as in the kind of egg laid by the female
    of various species) is the same as the word for the male
    reproductive glands that come in pairs.

    Now visualize an egg being boiled, then deep-fried until blistered
    and browned all over, and then whacked in half with a cleaver or
    methodically and slowly sliced open with a sharp chef's knife
    (possibly with the slicer laughing maniacally while slicing).
    "Here's what's going to happen to you, boy, if you mistreat our
    daughter" seems to be the message that the parents of a woman want
    to send their future son-in-law.

    Title: Khai Luk Koei or Son-In-Law Eggs
    Categories: Thai, Eggs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 lg Shallots, peeled and sliced
    Thinly lengthwise
    1/4 c Vegetable oil, plus more for
    Deep frying
    8 lg Eggs, hard-boiled and
    Peeled
    1/2 c Very finely-chopped palm
    Sugar, packed or
    1/4 c Brown sugar, packed or
    1/4 c Thai fish sauce
    2 tb Prepared tamarind pulp
    3 tb Water
    2 Red jalapeno peppers or half
    Red bell pepper, seeded,
    Slivered, for garnish
    Fresh cilantro leaves for
    Garnish

    Thai Fried Hard-Boiled Eggs in Tamarind Sauce

    Add the sliced shallots and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to a small
    skillet set on low heat (it is imperative that you add the
    shallots to cold oil lest they burn before crisping up). Stirring
    constantly, cook the shallots until they are golden brown and
    crispy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the fried shallots to a
    paper towel-lined plate; set aside.

    Add enough oil to a medium saucepan so that it comes up to about 2
    inches high. Place the pot on medium-high heat. Once the oil is
    hot, gently drop the hard-boiled eggs into it. Stir the eggs
    around to ensure even browning. Once the egg exteriors are
    thoroughly browned, fish them out with a slotted spoon, slice them
    in half with a serrated knife, and arrange the halved eggs on a
    serving platter.

    Discard the oil in the same skillet in which you've fried the
    shallots and set the skillet on medium heat. Add the brown sugar,
    fish sauce, tamarind, and water to it; bring the mixture to a
    gentle boil, stirring constantly. Once the sugar has fully
    dissolved, check for consistency. The sauce should have the
    consistency of maple syrup. If at this point the sauce is still
    too thin, reduce it down a bit more. If it is too thick, add a
    little more water to thin it out. Once you have the desired
    consistency, remove the skillet from heat and pour the sauce over
    the prepared eggs.

    Sprinkle the fried shallots over the top of the eggs. Garnish with
    red pepper slivers and cilantro leaves. Serve son-in-law eggs with
    steamed jasmine rice.
