EGGS POACHED IN RED WINE
This 2006 recipe from Mark Bittman takes that workhorse of the kitchen - the egg - and makes it a bit more glamorous. By cooking the eggs in simmering red wine, they become something even greater, worthy of a simple, but still indulgent, dinner.

Steps:
- Put 3 or 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet and turn heat to medium. Add garlic and cook, turning occasionally, until it just begins to color. Lower heat a bit and add bread; sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper. Cook, turning once or twice, until bread is crusty and golden.
- Meanwhile, heat wine in a saucepan, preferably one with sloping sides; add some salt. When wine boils, reduce heat to a low simmer. Carefully slip eggs in and cook, spooning wine over them, until whites are barely firm.
- Scoop eggs into 2 or 4 bowls, along with some wine. Add a piece or two of bread to each bowl, garnish with cheese and parsley, and serve.

POACHED EGGS IN RED WINE (OEUFS EN MEURETTE)
Oeufs en meurette is a classic French dish of poached eggs covered in a rich red wine sauce filled with lardons, mushrooms and onion. When the writer Michael Harlan Turkell was working on his book "Acid Trip: Travels in the World of Vinegar," he picked up a tip from the French chef Bertrand Auboyneau of Bistrot Paul Bert in Paris. A generous amount of red wine vinegar, added to the sauce, lightens and brightens the dish, all the while emphasizing the flavors of red wine. Use the best-tasting vinegar you can get your hands on, since there's enough of it here to really redirect the taste of the sauce. To turn the recipe into a full, hearty meal, just poach two eggs for each person, instead of one, and add a side of simply dressed salad greens.

Steps:
- Add the bacon to a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it's cooked through and browning slightly at the edges, about 6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. If a lot of fat has rendered in the pan, pour some out, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add onions and mushrooms and cook until the water from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it no longer smells raw, about 2 minutes. Add red wine, sugar and thyme. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by a third. Add red wine vinegar and 1/4 cup water and simmer on low until the sauce has reduced by another third, about 20 minutes. The sauce should taste bright and tangy.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. When hot, gently fry the bread on both sides until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. (If the pan is small and you're working in batches, add more oil to the pan as needed.) Cut the bread into strips, lightly season with salt and set aside on a paper towel.
- Fill a deep saucepan with enough water to completely cover an egg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat so the water is at a gentle simmer. Working with one egg at a time, break the eggs into a ramekin and gently slide them into the water, using a spoon to direct their shape in the water. Poach for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft and runny.
- Fill 4 ramekins with the mushrooms, onions and red wine sauce. Add a poached egg to each, sprinkle the bacon and parsley (if using) over the top and serve the fried bread on the side. Top the eggs with freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:
- Put the wine in a wide saucepan and add the shallots, garlic, carrots, bay leaf, thyme and parsley sprigs, peppercorns and honey. Cut off the stems of the mushrooms and add them. Set the caps aside. Bring to the simmer and cook 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and discard the solids. Return the wine liquid to the saucepan.
- Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the mushroom caps in one layer when they are added. Add the mushrooms cap-side down. Cook two to three minutes on one side or until golden brown. Turn and continue cooking two to three minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Break each egg into a small bowl.
- It is best to poach only four eggs at a time. Bring the wine liquid to the simmer and carefully slide the eggs, one at a time, into the liquid. Let simmer until the whites are firm and the yolks remain runny, about two to three minutes. Carefully scoop out each egg, using a slotted spoon, and drain on absorbent paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs and drain.
- Arrange the croutons on a serving platter or arrange two croutons on each of four serving dishes. Top each crouton with a poached egg.
- Meanwhile, knead the remaining four tablespoons of butter with the flour.
- Skim off and discard any egg remnants floating on the surface of the wine liquid. Bring the liquid to the simmer and gradually add the butter-flour mixture. Stir until the sauce is thickened. Pour the sauce over the eggs on croutons and garnish with the mushrooms on the side. Sprinkle each egg with chopped parsley and serve.

POACHED EGGS IN A RED WINE SAUCE
Steps:
- 1. To poach the eggs, bring the wine and stock to a vigorous boil in a large shallow pan. Break four eggs, one by one, into the places where the liquid is bubbling so the bubbles spin the eggs. Lower the heat and poach the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes until the yolks are fairly firm but still soft to the touch. Lift out the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Poach the remaining eggs in the same way. Trim off the stringy edges with scissors and set the eggs aside. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bouquet garni, and peppercorns to the poaching liquid and simmer until it is concentrated and reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, cook the garnish, melt half the butter in a medium saucepan, add the mushrooms, and sauté until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms, add bacon with the remaining butter, and fry until brown. Lift out the bacon and drain it on paper towels. Add the baby onions and sauté them gently until brown and tender, shaking the pan often so they color evenly, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain off all the fat, replace the mushrooms and bacon, and set the pan aside.
- 3. Make the croûtes, using a round or oval cutter, and cut the bread into 8 shapes just larger than a poached egg. Heat 1/4 inch (6 mm) of oil in a frying pan, over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the croûtes until browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Set the croûtes aside.
- 4. To thicken the sauce, crush the butter on a plate with a fork and work in the flour to form a soft paste. Whisk this kneaded butter, a piece at a time, into the simmering wine mixture until the mixture becomes thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. Strain the sauce over the garnish of mushrooms, baby onions, and bacon, pressing on the carrot, onion, and celery to extract all the liquid and flavor. Bring the sauce to a boil, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
- 5. To prepare ahead, poach the eggs up to a day in advance, keeping them in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator. Store the sauce and garnish also in the refrigerator. The croûtes will be fine if kept tightly wrapped, then warmed in a low oven.
- 6. To serve, reheat the eggs by immersing them in hot water for 1 minute. If necessary, reheat the garnish and sauce on top of the stove, and warm croûtes in the oven. Set the croûtes on warm serving plates. Drain the eggs on paper towels, set one on each croûte, and spoon over the sauce and garnish.
- Variation: Poached Eggs in White Wine Sauce
- Oeufs au Meursault
- A full-bodied chardonnay from California's Monterey peninsula or, to be somewhat extravagant, a meursault from Burgundy's Côte de Beaune is the sort of wine required here, particularly if you want to savor it at the table as well. If the wine is too dry and thin, the sauce will be acidic.
- Simply follow the recipe for Poached Eggs in Red Wine Sauce, substituting white for red wine. Just before serving, stir 3 to 4 tablespoons of crème fraîche or heavy cream into the sauce.

Steps:
- Bring the wine and stock to a boil in a large shallow pan. Break 4 eggs, one by one, into the pan where there are the most bubbles (the bubbles will spin the eggs). Reduce heat, and poach eggs in until the yolks are fairly firm but still soft to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Trim any stringy edges off the eggs with scissors. Set aside. Repeat with remaining 4 eggs.
- Prepare bouquet garni: Place bay leaf, thyme, parsley, and peppercorns on square of cheesecloth; tie with kitchen twine.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bouquet garni, and peppercorns to the poaching liquid, and simmer until reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan, add mushrooms, and saute until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms, add bacon, and fry until brown. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add onions, and saute until brown and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain off all the fat, replace the mushrooms and bacon, and set aside.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Make the croutes: Using a round cutter, cut the bread into eight rounds just larger than the poached eggs. Brush rounds on both sides with oil, and bake them, turning them halfway, until they are evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
- To thicken the sauce, crush the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on a plate with a fork, and work in the flour to form a soft paste. Whisk this mixture, a bit at a time, into the simmering wine mixture until it becomes thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. Strain the sauce into the pan with the mushrooms, onions, and bacon, pressing the vegetables in the strainer to extract all the liquid and flavor. Bring the sauce to a boil; season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat eggs by immersing them in hot water for 1 minute. Set the croutes on warm plates. Drain the eggs on paper towels. Set one egg on each croute and spoon over the sauce.
OEUFS A LA NEIGE (SNOW EGGS)
To prepare this specialty, you make a sweetened milk bath on which you cook oval-shaped meringues that, in theory, resemble eggs. After the so-called eggs are cooked, you combine what is left of the milk with egg yolks and prepare an English custard, or what the French choose to call a sauce anglaise. This is chilled and the eggs are floated on top. The snow-white eggs are served with a vanilla-flavored custard.

Steps:
- Put the milk and cream in a skillet and add six tablespoons of the sugar. Bring to the simmer, stirring, and let simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Add the vanilla and blend.
- Beat the egg whites until they are almost stiff. Sprinkle with six more tablespoons of sugar and the salt and continue beating until the mixture is quite stiff.
- Using two large spoons, mold the meringue into oval shapes and spoon the ovals on top of the simmering milk. Make a few at a time for a total of 10 or more. Cook about 30 to 40 seconds on one side and carefully turn to cook on the second side. Cook 30 to 40 seconds on the second side and remove the ovals. Drain on absorbent paper towels. Continue until all the meringue has been shaped into ovals and cooked.
- Strain the milk.
- Put the egg yolks in a saucepan. Beat the egg yolks until they are light and lemon- colored and pour in the strained milk. Put the saucepan on the heat and simmer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the spoon. When the spoon is coated, remove the custard immediately from the heat and strain it into a wide serving dish large enough to hold the meringue ovals in one layer.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining sugar with the water in a heavy saucepan. Cook until the sugar becomes caramel-colored and then dark amber in color. Take care not to burn it.
- Before the caramel sets, pour it in a thin thread on top of the oval meringues. Serve the meringues in round-bottom dessert dishes with the custard on the bottom of each.
