Poached Eggs
Farm Pride Poached Eggs are prepared from first quality eggs. The eggs are poached in a formed heat sealed plastic pack to provide perfectly cooked poached eggs every time, ready for your convenience, just warm and serve. Each sleeve of perfectly cooked poached eggs provides two different shaped eggs for that individual look. The plastic sleeve has been designed in such a way that when the backing is peeled away the poached egg can be hygienically inverted onto a plate without being touched by hands.
Applications:
- They can be used whenever easy poached eggs are required. The poached eggs have been cooked to have a slight runny centre. For a firm yolk cook eggs in boiling water for a few extra minutes. Easy poached eggs can be used from cold then heated by the serving suggestion eg. Eggs Benedict. Individual eggs can be cut from the plastic sheet and heated singly to eliminate wastefully heating.
