Poached Smoked Haddock With Poached Eggs
After my experience at the Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool, I thought I’d try to do this myself. I asked an honourable friend how to poach the fish and she suggested using the microwave. I then found this method on Yahoo.
If you don’t want to spend ages with the other recipes just put it in a shallow dish with a little milk and water (equal amounts) and a knob of butter on top then whack it into the microwave for three/mins full power.
Here’s what it looked like before it went in the microwave.

And here it is after the cooking.

To poach the eggs, I used these mini-poachers from John Lewis.

Here they are sitting in the pan.
Two Eggs Poaching
They can either sit or hang on the side. The eggs didn’t turn out of the poachers too well.

But they tasted alright and I suspect I’ll get them better next time.
By the way it looks like John Lewis is out of the mini egg poachers. Perhaps a lot of mothers are going to get them for Christmas. After all they only cost four pounds each.

I always poach my eggs by bringing a pan of water to a rolling boil, stir hard enough to make the water swirl in the pan and then just break the egg(s) into the swirling water. Very easy and only an almost clean pan to wash up or put in the dishwasher rather than having to scrub a poaching cup.

maybe pregrease your poaching cups with some butter? I would put some salt into boiling water for poaching. I would gently cook fish in liquid by putting into it when just on boil then turn off heat and cover pan and let it ‘sit for 10 mins or so. You could prob cook your eggs in the same water/milk mix?
