One of the huge time-saving techniques Chef Rosendale used at the Greenbrier was cooking poached eggs using the sous vide method. Many people have a sous vide egg recipe, but we often find that the eggs are undercooked and do not have as appealing of a texture as a traditional poached egg. You will find in this recipe the temperature is a little higher and a little shorter to give you a firmer set egg that is ideal for dishes such as Eggs Benedict.

Part 1:
Sous Vide Eggs

Step 1

Prepare the sous vide bath: In a suitable container (a Cambro works well), add enough water for your sous vide bath. Preheat your immersion circulator to 163°F (73°C).


Step 2

Stabilize the eggs: Place the eggs in a cheesecloth pouch, fryer basket, or small roasting rack to prevent cracking during cooking. If using cheesecloth, create a single-layer pouch, tie it securely with twine, and anchor the eggs outside the bath with excess twine.


Step 3

Cook the eggs: Submerge the eggs in the preheated sous vide bath and cook for 13 minutes.


Step 4

Shock the eggs: Once cooked, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.


Step 5

Prepare to poach: In a small pot, bring water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.


Step 6

Crack and poach: Carefully crack an egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, gently slide the egg into the simmering water.


Step 7

Swirl the water: Occasionally swirl the water to prevent the egg from sticking to the bottom of the pot and developing a flat side.


Step 8

Finish and serve: Poach until the desired consistency is reached. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drain. Plate as desired.
