How to Poach Egg

I must admit, this is my first time to try cook poached eggs. Most of the time, I do sunny side up, boiled and scrambled. Whitney Miller is such an inspiration, after watching her during the finale of MasterChef, I decided to cook poach eggs Whitney Miller style!

Like Whitney, I also did the swirls and I'm really satisfied with the outcome. That was a great technique. Not bad for a first timer.

But instead of doing Whitney's eggs benedict with asparagus on a crispy grit cake , I decided to go Filipino with the classic favorite Pinoy Hotsilog. :) And yes, that's way easier!

Watch how Whitney Miller cooked her poached eggs, one of the three classic dishes requested by the judges, beating fellow MasterChef contestant Lee Knaz.

Whitney Miller Wins America's first ever Master Chef

A few days ago, I was able to catch the finale episode of Master Chef USA Season 1 on the Lifestyle Network. I was truly amazed at Whitney Miller. This 22 years old lass, youngest of all the competitors, surprisingly won the title as America's first ever Master Chef. I love watch her cook, her vibrant personality in the kitchen and how she makes a simple dish and adds high quality flair to them. Watching her cook really inspires me a lot to get myself in kitchen more often and experiment on different dishes.

She sure proves that even a simple young country girl can withstand difficult challenges and come out as a winner at the end.
