Sous Vide Eggs

Three sous vide eggs in ramekins with a piece of bread

If you have a sous vide machine, you need to get on this sous vide egg bandwagon ASAP. Jammy yolk, custard soft whites, luxurious, smooth and rich. This is as easy as placing the whole eggs in water and setting your sous vide timer for 12 minutes. Unbelievably good eggs!

What is sous vide cooking anyway?

Sous-vide means cooking something at a lower temperature for a longer time. The food is sealed in plastic pouches or glass jars and cooked in a water bath, at a temperature that’s precisely regulated throughout. The way you do this at home is with an Anova Pressure Cooker. I love this tool! It’s such a great way to elevate my home cooking, giving restaurant style results.

How do I boil eggs in a sous vide?

Whole! Shell and all. Just drop the eggs into a large vat of water with the sous vide machine attached. You don’t need to cover the water. I usually just use any large pot. After the time is over and eggs have cooked, all you need to do is crack them open into a bowl. No need to peel, just crack like you would raw eggs, and a beautiful silky smooth very soft boiled egg comes right out. It’s like magic!

How to get the egg whites set and the yolk still runny?

I read a lot about sous vide eggs before deciding how to program my machine. I like a very soft and runny yolk, but my whites better be set. No raw egg whites for me, thanks very much. You need a temperature that’s high enough to cook the whites, but low enough not to overcook the yolk. Also, a time that’s long enough to cook the whites but without cooking the yolk. After reading a kazillion recipes, I settled on the following: 167 F (75C) for 12 minutes. SET A TIMER!

Once the eggs have finished cooking for 12 minutes, immediately plunge them into an ice bath and let them chill for 1 minute. This stops the cooking process, and gets the egg to a cool enough temperature for you to be able to handle cracking them.

What to pair with these eggs?

These are PERFECT for topping avocado toast with. You can also use these in lieu of poached eggs on top of smoked salmon or bacon. I sometimes eat them straight out of the ramekin I’ve cracked them in, dunking crusty bits of bread into the yolk (just like pictured).

How long do sous vide eggs last?

They last for a few days in their shell in the fridge- just make sure you store them separately from raw eggs. Once ready to eat, just submerge the whole eggs in warm water for 5-10 minutes to warm them, then crack and use!

Instagram post 2200087754121825989_296112771 Just look at how cute @fattobahrain ‘s special national day pasta is 🇧🇭! Spinach and ricotta stuffed ravioli with a creamy pesto sauce- absolutely delicious: Fatto always does the trick for me! And on that note, happy National Day to beautiful Bahrain, the place I’m blessed enough to call home. My friends and I have had the discussion before of which country in the world we dream about living in if we weren’t tied down to certain responsibilities. They come up with a range of exotic options but my answer is always emphatically Bahrain. I love you Bahrain!

Instagram post 2199426804834227841_296112771 Who else is feeling the hot chocolate weather? I was inspired by my visit to @theloft.bh and purchase of their super popular double walled blackstone mugs (now on sale for 3.280BD for a set of two! I know a lot of you asked me about the price). The entire store is on sale so go in and  fulfill your wishlist📝
This thick and decadent hot chocolate is made with 3 ingredients in approximately 5 minutes. No sugar is added, the chocolate shines for itself. An even easier loose adaptation of @jacquestorres ‘s famous recipe!! Make this and tell me what you think ☕️ ❄️ Ingredients:
3 cups of whole milk
1 heaped tbsp cornstarch
1 cup (150g) good quality dark chocolate, 55-60%
Method:
Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat, then whisk in cornstarch until dissolved. Keep whisking and let it boil for 30 seconds or so. Reduce heat to medium, add the chocolate, and whisk to combine until chocolate has melted and dissolved. Let chocolate milk mixture boil for another minute, whisking vigorously. Pour into mugs and serve warm, topped with whipped cream and marshmallows😍. I love these mugs for coffee, and now for hot chocolate!

Instagram post 2198572670291644763_296112771 Finally got around to visiting @themerchanthousebahrain , an elegant boutique hotel located near Bab al Bahrain. Parking trouble aside, when you enter the hotel it’s an artsy and modern little oasis in the middle of a bustling souk. I went to their onsite restaurant, Indigo, for breakfast. They are known for their rooftop terrace, but it was raining so we sat inside. The vibe was so nice. I loved the decor, the artwork the quirkiness. This goes for the lobby and cozy library located on the premises too- I would definitely try their library afternoon tea just for the setting! Swipe to see more. As for the food, it was simple and good. We tried the French toast, blueberry pancakes, and a great cappuccino. The portions could definitely have been bigger, but they were all enjoyable if not necessarily memorable.

Instagram post 2197152259536478432_296112771 Guys. The forge. Delicious!! I had no idea that @theforge.bh opened up in Riffa (Calidus center, same complex as @kidzvillebh and @black22bh ). The cool thing is it opened up in @seedbahrain ‘s location, but the branch itself offers both The Forge’s menu and Seeds. Today, I was there for aaaall the indulgence. I tried something from every category. Swipe for all the goodness!
-Burgers: the BLT burger and the Mexican. Hit the spot! I loved that smashed griddled patty with caramelized crispy edges. The BLT was completely nostalgic, tasted like the burger of my childhood. The Mexican was super juicy and tasty with the addition of guacamole.
-6 hour slow cooked brisket. Slightly sweet, perfectly tender and shredded with no fat bits! A winner.
-The spicy chicken slider. This was excellent. I ate it cold because I took so long taking photos and it was still crispy and delicious. And I am not a chicken person!
-Sides and dessert: onion rings were probably the best I’ve had in Bahrain, so well seasoned and crunchy with a great homemade herby ranch dip. 
Loaded fries: really good, but even the regular fries hit the spot so I’d probably go for those to save more precious tummy real estate. Brisket croquettes were stuffed with shredded brisket and cheese, so clearly they were a yes.
Finally, my custom made milkshake! You can customize your own but I highly recommend you give my ELC shake a whirl. It’s vanilla ice cream with brownies, salted caramel and shortbread. Deeeelicious 😋.
I love that this is a local homegrown brand, and highly recommend a visit to @theforge.bh for your next cheat day. They also have a food truck to cater your events (I’ve been asked about this). Let me know what your picks off the menu would be and head over to my story for full coverage! {brand partner}

Instagram post 2196588697600560910_296112771 Green juice is my husband and I’s new obsession. It makes us feel so righteous and millennial 💪🏼🌱 .We started off by throwing in basically whatever we have in the fridge but now we’ve come to a more fine tuned formula. Here’s what we put in to give us a good liter or so of juice (enough for four glasses): Ingredients
3-4 cucumbers
1 bunch parsley
1 lime
1 knob of ginger
8-10 celery stalks
4 green apples
Instructions:
Wash fruits and vegetables. Cut them in half if necessary to fit in the juice tube.
Place in the juice in the order listed. Drink immediately if possible, or chill in the fridge tightly covered until you are ready to drink.

Instagram post 2195925680059639526_296112771 I returned to an old favorite, @lanternsbahrain after much too long to try their newly launched thali platter. I loved it! 5 bd (non shareable) for a platter with the perfect amount of their bestselling curries, basmati rice, naan, papad, raita, chopped salad, chicken tikka, and ras malai. In the first photo is their vegetarian thali option that swaps out the chicken tikka for a spinach patty type thing which I really enjoyed, as well as the lamb rogan josh and butter chicken for aloo gobi and additional vegetarian curries . I actually loved both platters equally, and can totally see myself ordering the vegetarian option in the future because I’m obsessed with paneer! So yummy, great amount of food and at a great price, I recommend this platter wholeheartedly! Available Sunday through Wednesday in Adliya, Budaiya and Riffa branches 🥘.
