Is poached egg an option at restaurants?

Question

When I order an egg and they ask how I want it prepared, is Poached an option?

Or is it only the traditional over easy / scrambled.

Answer 1

You can order poached eggs. Absolutely. However, some restaurants, Bob Evans is an example, won't poach your eggs. Basted eggs are an acceptable substitute. A basted egg is a Sunny Side Up egg that is steamed, cooking the yolk to warm or totally cooked through; your choice.

Answer 2

It is an option at most restaurants. However, at some of those places it may take up to 30 minutes for a poached egg and a good server will warn you of that. I know when I worked at IHOP they already had the set-up going for poached eggs (so it would take maybe 10 min) but at Cracker Barrel they did not (hince the up to 30 minute time).

Answer 3

There are some restaurants that will poach an egg. But, sometime it isn't really poached, but the kind in the little round thing in a covered pan with water in the bottom.

Answer 4

Depends on where you are and how good the cook is. Also remember that when ordering more then one egg ; that if you get them scrambled

you never are sure if they give you your whole order.

Answer 5

I'm part of an "egg" eating family.When ever we go out for a breakfast this is how my husband orders his.We have yet to find a place that doesn't serve them to his liking.



Ask and ye shall receive :))

Answer 6

Scrambled delicate (runny), sausage, domicile fries, rye toast, espresso and a tomato juice. Overcooked eggs are as undesirable as over cooked meat. people who do not savour food overcook it.

Answer 7

Yes it is an option. They will know how to do it too, if they are a real restaurant.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Absolutely. I think you can even nerrow it down to "soft" or "hard"
