#Poached eggs

[gothiccharmschool]

I have finally mastered poaching eggs in the microwave!

Add about 1.5 cups of water in a glass measuring cup.

Heat the water in the microwave for about a minute. Maybe a minute + 15 seconds.

Crack the egg into the warmed water.

Cover most of the top of the measuring cup with plastic wrap. I leave the spout portion uncovered.

Microwave for 45 seconds. Maybe a minute. (It, of course, depends on the finickiness of your microwave.)

Remove the measuring cup and let the egg sit in the hot water for 10-20 seconds.

Remove the egg with a slotted spoon.

Eat your poached egg with whatever you want! (I'm having mine on avocado toast, because I want to show solidarity with the Millennials or whatever generation it was that were told that was why they couldn't afford houses instead of the real reason of poor wages and rising inflation and fuckery by the upper classes.) (Also because avocado toast is delicious.)

Poached eggs!

"Twins" Egg Royale and Egg Florentine. A partially traced study of this photo by @alkaline-noodles

(Krita, Wet Circle Default Brush, 18 colors, 45 minutes)

Despite my posting schedule, there was actually a pretty big chunk of time between each of the last 4 Eggtober drawings, so to get myself into it after a break, I decided to do another study of one of the fantastic photos of photogenic eggs made and taken by @alkaline-noodles. You make fantastic eggs, friend.

As always, this piece is 100% free to use for any purpose specifically for user @alkaline-noodles because it's their eggs in the art.

I really really liked how the Hollandaise sauce looked and the ripple-y design on the plate was a really nice element in the original so I extended it out to spruce up the void my eggs usually sit in.

So lately I've been obsessing over poached eggs. At first I just wanted to try my hand at making one and see how it tasted (I never had one before last month) but once I tried it couldn't stop. They're DELICIOUS. The texture, the taste, the fact they go amazingly on top it toast and are fast to cook. Perfect.

I've been perfecting my technique for the past month or so and I think

I THINK I FINALLY MADE THE PERFECT ONE

Anthony Gordon just went off (I’m well behind I slept in, then made breakfast) so I guess we will never find out if Phil Foden is capable of kicking the ball to him.

j. kenji lópez-alt the man that you are

first time with this technique so i'm a bit ragged (and i forgot to flip so the white distribution wasn't fully even on both sides) but this is genuinely the first time i've made a poached egg that wasn't just a yolk and a pot of stringy whites 😭🙌

(and yes i know the eggs are supposed to be baked into the shakshuka but cooking for 1 means making the base in a batch and poaching the eggs individually womp womp)

Happy National Eggs Benedict Day!

"Cropped Rainbow" or Asparagus Hollandaise with Poached Eggs

(Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Gouache Blender Brush, and some messy Pencil brush details to experiment with the shiny look. 16 colors. ~2 hours give or take a bathroom break and some wrist rest.)

One of the eggs broke on the way to the drawing realm oh noooo! Ah well, it's still tasty. As we all know, poached eggs are my fave because the yolks are runny and the whites are cooked but soft and they add rich, fatty, flavor to everything and are a good hit of protein for a healthy dish. This is probably a little more fat in one sitting than you need honestly, what with the butter in the hollandaise, but still. Healthy is relative and this sure as heck is healthier than my breakfast of 2 chocolate bars. (Don't tell God and maybe I won't gain weight. XD) As far as healthy veggies go, asparagus has to be one of my faves. Hollandaise helps anything, but even by itself, asparagus properly cooked (i.e. not overcooked) is delicious. I had a couple ideas for today but most of them were fried eggs because of my inspo board (AKA all the images I pulled up of fried eggs on Google) But mom said "eggsparagus" as a joke October 1st and so I pulled that idea out of the bag today to spare everyone from a week of only fried eggs because God knows I would definitely do that. As for the title, it was funny to me how we have orange, yellow, green and blue on the same piece and how that's kind of the middle bit of the rainbow. Most of the colors were necessitated by the subject but I just happened to pick blue for the background and I liked it so... Cropped Rainbow. (Cough cough I sure DO hope some breadbugs show up to the picnic to sample the eggs. One is ready to be eaten already since it popped open and depending on how much mess the breadbugs mind, they could probably haul all that asparagus back to the burrow for later. Shout out to @lady-quen who has blanket permission to draw the beloved breadbugs stealing or not stealing as many of my eggs as the little guys desire to steal. Been loving the little guys so far!)

And as always, egg for the egg gods. Thanks to @quezify for always drawing such delicious looking eggs! An inspiration for sure!

Methuselah's Brunch: Eggs Benedict

"Eggs Benedict is the dish that launched a thousand brunches, and for good reason. There is nothing to dislike here, the sourdough muffin, Canadian bacon, gushing yolk and blanket of Hollandaise." Methuselah's Brunch: Eggs Benedict

The genesis of Eggs Benedict is famously difficult to pin down. Mostly what we know is this: it’s been around a while. Invented in the late 19th Century, it’s been a staple of brunch menus across the US ever since. A debate raged through the mid 20th Century over which Benedict to credit with its invention–or inspiration. That it was invented in New York City was never in doubt, but the three…
