Spices used in this recipe


Turmeric, Ground
Salt, Kosher

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Fill a small saucepan with 2 inches water. Add salt and turmeric and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn heat down to low to maintain a bare simmer -- you should only see small bubbles rising from the bottom of the pot.
  2. Crack the egg into a small bowl or ramekin and slide gently into the simmering water. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 minutes, until white is fully cooked and yolk is still nicely runny, gently turning the egg occasionally with a slotted spoon. Remove egg from water and drain on a paper towel. Eat on top of avocado toast, in a breakfast bowl, dolloped with garlicky yogurt, in eggs benedict, or anywhere else you might use a poached egg.
  3. To make more poached eggs, simply add more eggs to the poaching water -- no need to add more turmeric or salt.

Serves 1.
