The other day I was flipping through tv channels and came across the Cooking channel. Of course, anytime I stumble across a cooking channel I have to watch for a bit. I can’t remember the name of the show that was on, but during one of the ad breaks Bobby Flay came on and shared his Poached Eggs on Toasted Baguette with Goat Cheese recipe. Now, I’m nowhere near Bobby Flay level of cooking, but I can hold my own in the kitchen. The poached egg recipe looked so good that I had to try it for myself. Sadly, my kitchen isn’t stocked nearly as well as Mr. Flay’s so I created Poached Egg on Biscuit instead.
Since the fridge and pantry were pretty much empty and I hate going to the grocery store I did the best I could with what I had. There was a can of Pillsbury Grand biscuits in the fridge so that became the base of my recipe. No goat cheese, but there was a small chunk of white cheddar cheese and I happened to have a Roma tomato from the farmer’s market.
How To Poach An Egg
Fill a saucepan with 4 to 5 inches of water. Bring to a low boil. The water should have small bubbles that break when they hit the surface. Once the water is ready, add a small amount of white wine vinegar to the water. Break an egg into a small bowl and then gently pour into the water, egg white first. When the white is fully cooked the egg should float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a napkin to remove the excess water.

PIN POACHED EGG ON A BISCUIT TO PINTEREST
That sounds like a perfect breakfast if you ask me. Yum!
I like poached eggs, not big on tomatoes though. I don’t think my husband likes poached eggs though, with the runny part lol.
I never knew poaching an egg was so simple, it seems difficult based on how beautiful it comes out.
I love to eat breakfast and with a busy schedule I am always looking for something quick and easy. This recipe looks really good, I can’t wait to try it.
I’ve never tried to poach an egg. I love to eat them, though!
I used to love poached eggs, as a kid. I have not been able to really eat eggs nevermind poached since I turned 30. I must admit, I want to try this though! I love eggs, but my body doesn’t love them. I get sick usually 🙁
Not much of a poached egg fan. But that sure does look good.
You had me at biscuits. Biscuits topped with anything are going to be delicious. Those pictures are making me SO HUNGRY!
Oooo, that looks like something I had when I was in Paris. That looks amazing. Yum
I’ve never had a poached egg before. This looks absolutely killer and I’ll be trying it tomorrow.
So, it is 3:22 am here and I am seriously contemplating making this right now. Delicious and looks pretty easy. Thanks for the recipe.

My mom loves poached eggs. I need to make her this when I go visit her!
This looks so good! I have to make this for my husband for brunch this weekend!
My hubby loves poached eggs. He makes them for the kids. Now they are poached eggs lovers too. You would not believe the looks we got when Davey started ordering Poached eggs at 3 years old.
this sounds really good right now. Love poached egg, will have to make one in a day or two now. 🙂 Love them on slightly toasted bread. Haven’t tried them with cheese or tomato surprisingly.
Poached eggs are one of my favorite foods. I could eat about 10 of these!
I love poached eggs. Heck, I just love eggs. Your biscuit looks really tasty.
This looks so yummy and elegant, my poached eggs always come out all sloppy
I would just love to give this a try! I’ve never made poached eggs before.

I like poached eggs, but never knew how to make them myself. Maybe I’ll give this a try.
I have never poached an egg but I would love to try. this looks really good.
So…. this is one of my favorite eats of all time. Anytime of day!
This turned out great. I think hubby would like this as a nice change of pace too, with the goat cheese (or the white cheddar).
I don’t have tomatoes but I think roasted red peppers would work really good. Looks like lunch to me
This sounds awesome. I haven’t had a poached egg in years and think this might be on the menu Sunday morning! Found you over at The Tumbleweed Contessa!
Ooooh yum! I want for sure. I’ve never poached an egg before, time to experiment. Thanks for linking up to Snickerdoodle Sunday!
