Thought Provoking Poached Eggs

By

This recipe adds extra protein to the popular avocado toast. Adding a poached egg to the top of your toast gives your brain a boost.  Plus, poaching eggs give the food a very different flavor from scrambling or baking eggs.

 

This  Poached Egg and Avocado Toast recipe is simple, delicious and healthy. It also provides the brain health needed to  consider important life choices.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1/3 avocado (usually I cut it in half but don’t use all of it. okay fine maybe I do.)
  • 2 tablespoons shaved Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper for topping
  • fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or basil) for topping
  • quartered heirloom tomatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to boil (use enough water to cover the eggs when they lay in the bottom). Drop the metal rims (outer rim only) of two mason jar lids into the pot so they are laying flat on the bottom. When the water is boiling, turn off the heat and carefully crack the eggs directly into each rim. Cover the pot and poach for 5 minutes (4 for super soft, 4:30 for soft, 5 or more for semi-soft yolks).
  2. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread and smash the avocado on each piece of toast. When the eggs are done, use a spatula to lift the eggs out of the water. Gently pull the rim off of the eggs (I do this right on the spatula, over the water) and place the poached eggs on top of the toast. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs; serve with the fresh quartered heirloom tomatoes.

Ten thought-provoking sayings discovered at the Free Range Chicken Egg Ranch; inspired by Raisul Islam:

  5. “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”— John Wooden

  6. “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.— Oscar Wilde

Bipartison Scrambled Eggs

Bipartisanship is a political situation that occurs when two opposing parties work together to achieve common goals.   To make creamy bipartisan eggs, heat a pan on low, throw some butter in, whip eggs with a fork in a bowl off to the side with some salt, slide into pan and with soft spatula simply push around and around on low heat till perfectly soft and creamy. Serve immediately with fresh cracked pepper. Cooking up a bipartison bill in Congress follows the same rules for preparation and passage. Warm up members of both Parties toward a particular cause, throw in some fat, whip up interest, soft peddle the details through Committee until it is put up for a vote, add some salty rhetoric while lobbying on low heat until the bill passes. Then, serve immediately with fresh funding.    Here are a dozen Free Ranch Chicken Eggs ready for bipartisan scrambling. Pick one and give it a try: Policies that ensure children have access to high-quality, affordable health insuranc...

Poached Eggs

A poached egg is an egg that has been cooked, outside the shell, by poaching, as opposed to simmering or boiling. This method of preparation can yield more delicately cooked eggs than cooking at higher temperatures such as with boiling water. You can poach eggs without trouble but you should not poach your friends or anyone's property. .flickr.com/photos/45688285@N00/551387819 In the entire world, sharks kill fewer than ten people a year, while coconuts falling from trees take out 150. ― Stuart Gibbs, Poached

  I enjoy just plain scrambled eggs.  Eggs are a high source of protein but add some Kale and you have health food on steroids. The leafy green is full of nutrients and vitamins just like the eggs contributed by our Free Range Chickens: You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” — Gandhi.
