Poach Eggs In Wine

Wine adds great flavor to any recipe and this one is no exception. Poached eggs in white wine is a delicious way to "wow" your dinner guests and it couldn't be more simple to complete. It is up to you as to what kinds of eggs duck, quail, hens that you would like to poach in your wine although any eggs taste divine poached using this method.


Instructions








1. Take a medium sized saucepan and fill it to within two inches of the top with the wine of your choice. Set saucepan on the burner and bring to a rolling boil. Start breaking each egg carefully into individual cups ready to poach.








2. When the wine comes to a rolling boil stir clockwise several times with a metal spoon. Reduce heat to simmer. While the wine is still swirling slip in the first egg carefully. The white will swirl around and the egg will coagulate.


3. When the egg yolk is still soft and pink on top remove it from the pan and set on a warm plate. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 with as many eggs as you wish to poach. Two eggs per person is a normal serving.
