Poached eggs have a rich history dating back to ancient times, with evidence of their consumption in Roman and medieval European cuisine. This delicate dish gained popularity in the 19th century, with renowned French chef Marie-Antoine Carême perfecting the art of poaching eggs. Today, poached eggs are a staple in brunch menus worldwide, with variations like Eggs Benedict and Florentine showcasing their versatility. Notable restaurants like The Wolseley in London and Balthazar in New York City are celebrated for their flawless execution of this classic dish. The key to a perfect poached egg lies in using fresh, high-quality eggs and achieving the ideal water temperature for a runny yolk and firm whites. For a twist, consider the sous vide method for precise and consistent results.
