This wow-worthy dish is inspired by an appetizer I once had at a restaurant and couldn't stop dreaming out. This recipe is a bit more challenging than your average egg dish, but tasting the crispy outer crust next to the smooth, silky yolk is worth all the effort! You can garnish with whatever toppings you want, but pickled red onions will offer a pop of brightness to cut through the richness.

Ingredients

  • eggs: 4 piece (fresh)
  • white vinegar: 2 Tbsp
  • vegetable oil: 4 cups
  • all-purpose flour: 1.5 cups
  • eggs, lightly: 2 piece (beaten)
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • black pepper: 1 tsp (freshly ground)
  • panko bread crumbs: 1.5 cups
  • pickled red onions (for garnish): 2 Tbsp (chopped)
  • green onions (for garnish): 2 Tbsp (chopped)
  • red pepper flakes: 1 Tbsp (for garnish, to taste)

  1. Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and bring to a gentle, slow simmer. Working with one egg at a time, crack an egg into a ramekin or measuring cup for easier transfer.

  2. Stir the water vigorously to create a whirlpool effect. As the whirlpool is turning, drop the egg into the center of the water. Continue to stir gently, cooking until the egg white turns opaque. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the egg from the water and move to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  4. Meanwhile, set up a dredging station with 3 separate bowls. To the first bowl, add the flour. Beat 2 eggs with salt and pepper in a second bowl. Add breadcrumbs to the third bowl. Carefully dip the cooled egg first into the flour, second into the egg mixture, and last into the breadcrumbs, coating egg on all sides at each station.

History of the Crispy Fried Poached Eggs:

Crispy fried poached eggs are a modern twist on a classic breakfast dish. This recipe has its roots in the Southern United States where fried eggs are a staple of the breakfast menu. The idea of frying a poached egg adds a crispy exterior that enhances the natural flavors and textures of the egg. This dish is perfect for anyone looking to add a little excitement to their breakfast routine or anyone who loves experimenting with new recipes.

Tips and Tricks for Crispy Fried Poached Eggs Recipe:

One of the most important tips for making crispy fried poached eggs is to use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs have a higher protein content, creating a better structure for the poached egg. This makes it easier to form a tight, compact poached egg that won't fall apart when being coated and fried. Another important tip is to make sure that the oil is heated to the correct temperature (375В°F) and to monitor the cooking time carefully to avoid overcooking the eggs.

To get a crispy and evenly-coated egg, follow the dredging station steps carefully. First, coat the egg in flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. This process creates a layer of coating that adheres to the egg, creating the crispy texture. Be sure to coat the egg thoroughly at each station to achieve the best flavor and texture.

Tips for presenting the dish:

To present crispy fried poached eggs, place each egg on a small dish and arrange the garnishes around it. The pickled red onions, red pepper flakes, and green onions add color and flavor to the dish. You can also serve these eggs with a side salad or toast for a complete breakfast or brunch meal. Additionally, you can experiment with different dipping sauces and herbs to create your own unique variation of this delicious dish.
