The Spices

The spicy paprika adds an extra dimension to the eggs; like deviled eggs, it jazzes up! Also, freshly cracked black pepper is the best friend of any egg. An egg without black pepper is like a plant without water; it won’t bloom.

European vs American Eggs

In North America, eggs are cleaned and then sanitized to prevent salmonella on its shell. Then dried up and refrigerated. In Europe, they sell eggs and pick them up at room temperature. Salmonella can lie on the egg’s surface or be already inside the egg, making the sanitizing not 100% effective. Also, studies showed that sanitizing the eggs makes the shell weaker and susceptible to bacteria. For this matter, eggs get refrigerated right away in North America. However, salmonella keeps ravaging stomachs worldwide, even with all those precautions. So who knows better?

How to Make Poached Egg?

All you’ll need for this is vinegar, a deep enough (5cm) water pot, and some fresh eggs! I crack the eggs up in a vinegar solution mixed with water; then, after a few minutes, it will turn the other layer of the egg white. Then gently pick it up with a ladle, slide it into the softly simmering pot of water, and cook it for 3 minutes. Pick up with a slotted spoon and let rest a minute or two before serving. Don’t forget the salt and pepper! (Here is a nice and unusual way of cooking them to perfection)
