I DONT AGREE WITH THE EGG HACKS

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium Red Onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 piece Large Egg (room temperature)
• 1 piece Medium Potato (peeled if desired, cut in half lengthwise)
• 1 tsp Olive Oil (for drizzling)
• a handful Ice Cubes (for shocking the poached egg)

Instructions

1. Slice the Red Onion

   Place the red onion on the cutting board and slice it thinly from top to bottom using a sharp chef knife.

   Time: PT2M

2. Prepare the Potato Skewers

   Cut the potato in half lengthwise. If you prefer skin‑off, peel first. Insert a toothpick into each half and twist gently to hold the halves together for easy handling.

   Time: PT3M

3. Boil the Potato Halves

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potato halves, and cook until just tender (about 8 minutes). Drain and set aside.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 100°C

4. Create a Folding Vortex for the Egg

   Fill a small saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer (90°C). Crack the egg into the water, then use a whisk to create a gentle vortex, folding the whites around the yolk for 30 seconds.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 90°C

5. Shock the Poached Egg

   Using a slotted spoon, lift the folded poached egg and immediately transfer it to the ice bath bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to stop cooking and firm the texture.

   Time: PT5M

6. Assemble the Dish

   Arrange the sliced red onion on a plate, place the chilled folded poached egg on top, and add the boiled potato halves on the side. Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a pinch of salt and pepper.

   Time: PT3M
