Recipes Breakfast and Brunch Eggs Crispy Fried Poached Eggs 5.0 (4) 4 Reviews 2 Photos This wow-worthy dish is inspired by an appetizer I once had at a restaurant and couldn't stop dreaming out. This recipe is a bit more challenging than your average egg dish, but tasting the crispy outer crust next to the smooth, silky yolk is worth all the effort! You can garnish with whatever toppings you want, but pickled red onions will offer a pop of brightness to cut through the richness.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 4 large fresh eggs 2 tablespoons white vinegar 4 cups vegetable oil 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs 2 tablespoons chopped pickled red onions (for garnish) 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish) 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes for garnish, or to taste Directions Gather all ingredients. Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and bring to a gentle, slow simmer. Working with one egg at a time, crack an egg into a ramekin or measuring cup for easier transfer. Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Stir the water vigorously to create a whirlpool effect. As the whirlpool is turning, drop the egg into the center of the water. Continue to stir gently, cooking until the egg white turns opaque. Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the egg from the water and move to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. In a medium saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Meanwhile, set up a dredging station with 3 separate bowls. To the first bowl, add the flour. Beat 2 eggs with salt and pepper in a second bowl. Add breadcrumbs to the third bowl. Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Carefully dip the cooled egg first into the flour, second into the egg mixture, and last into the breadcrumbs, coating egg on all sides at each station. Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop the egg into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga Garnish with pickled red onions, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
