I prepare this recipe often for my family, and it has been on my mind to share it with you, because I know most of will be very much interested.

Of a truth, you will so much love this recipe if you have a taste. In fact, you will prefer this method of egg preparation.

Children love eggs in whatever form prepared, but my kids would always go for poached eggs when they are given options.

Poaching eggs is not a popular method of egg preparation in Nigeria.

Egg recipes mostly prepared by Nigerians are scrambled eggs, fried eggs and vegetable egg curry sauce.

Invariably, Poached eggs recipe is not really a Nigerian popular or well-known recipe.

Generally, Nigerians love eggs and is mostly used in the preparation of Nigerian food recipes such as egg roll, scotch eggs, moi moi rollup, bread, cakes to mention but a few.

There are other methods of making poached eggs, but our bone of contention in this post is preparing it in the Nigerian way, which I also call the Nigerian Style.

You know, in every recipe be it world recipe, Nigerians would always create their own version.

There are some oyibo foods that cannot just work well with us, that’s just the truth. So we device a means to suit our taste. LOL!

In Poached eggs recipe preparation, the raw egg is put into a boiling water to poach.

You can also break in the raw eggs into a plate before placing it in a boiling, which was the method I used.

Also, the egg is gently and carefully put into the plate and not whisked, meaning the egg white should be clearly separate from the yolk.

For the other method, the egg is also gently dropped directly into the boiling water.

It’s very healthy and nutritious, a good source of protein, though not a popular recipe in Nigeria.
