The poached egg can be used in many ways as a component or garnish. The special fascination lies in letting the strong orange-yellow of the still soft yolk flow and thus forming a beautiful contrast to strong green tones.
The famous dish “Oeuf Bénédict” is therefore often refined with sautéed spinach leaves. Eggs are also a popular garnish with avocados.
