What did you have for breakfast thread?

Porridge with blueberries, strawberries, pumpkin seeds and honey

Carnivore salad

I don't usually breakfast, but I had two toasted brown bread slices with some marmalade. And now I feel like going back to bed and falling asleep.

Amazing poached egg, well done. 😋

Slow-baked sausages, grilled bacon, poached eggs and toasted waffles with a big dollop of Kimchi so sort of healthy. 😋

Cannot poach eggs for the life of me, especially one that turns out like that. I usually end up with egg white that looks like it’s gone through a shedder and a sad little yolk floating on its lonesome. Have tried all the tricks too, vinegar, swirling the water etc. Frustrating.

I just used vinegar and water, bit of salt. Maybe the water is swirling too fast or the water is too hot? Either can break up the egg.

I’ve swirled the first one and then just dropped the second one in. Both were fine. It is an enigma all right.

I was judging by the bottom edge of them. Look, my cooking skills are nowhere near those of you lot but i'm confident in my knowledge of frozen waffles😂😂

I've been poaching eggs for 25 years (I Loooove poached eggs on marmite toast 😋) and tried all sorts of methods.

The method I constantly come back to is:

1. Put some vinegar in a soup / dessert size bowl, just enough to cover the bottom, about 2-3 table spoons worth.
2. Crack 2-3 eggs into the bowl with the vinegar then pour some more vinegor over the top and let it sit for 10 minutes. This helps to stabilise the eggs which hleps them hold their shape when cooking. You'll see the edges of the white turn white which is fine.
3. Get a pot of water to boiling point then turn down to minimum so there's virtually no bubbles. The water needs to be reasonably deep, at least 5-6cm.
4. Dump the eggs and vinegar into the bowl and let them sit and cook for 3-4 minutes depending on how you like your eggs. I like mine very soft. If you want after a couple of minutes you can swirl the water to make sure the eggs are being cooked evenly.
5. Remove using a slotted spoon, place on kitchen paper to pat down and drain excess water and then serve.

You need to resist the temptation to turn the heat up as boiling water just jumbles the egg all over the place.
