Mmmmm...Poached Eggs!
4 delicious poached eggs (with lots of olive oil)
I just received an awesome early Christmas gift and couldn't wait to give it a test run. I got an egg poacher and did 4 eggs for breakfast this morning. Poaching the eggs to a soft boil (where the egg white is firm but the yolk is runny) is just about the best way to go in terms of taste and health benefits (you don't want the fat in the yolk to be oxidized by overheating it).
Throw these eggs over a piece of toast with some prosciutto and voila, you've got one tasty breakfast.

Damn, I know I throw up some lame posts every once in a while, but I can't believe no one's offering up a favorite protein source.
Mine are eggs and grass-fed beef.

It's not that it is a lame post, it just that most people are probably gobsmacked to read that you cook in such a fancy pan. You are oficially fancy.
Favorite protein source: pepperoni on a pizza and Beer - there's some sort of protein in a beer, I just know it.

Ground turkey is one of my favs. It is one of the few protein sources that I can afford, it is lean, and it doesn't taste too bad.
Why all the olive oil with the eggs? Is it to keep them from sticking?

Tom,
I need as much fat as I can get. But it's also to keep the eggs from sticking, too.

I love cottage cheese on flax seed bread with a little peanut butter. Or Fage yogurt with walnuts and blueberries.
