Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Bacon
Adds salty, savory flavor and crisp texture, and its rendered fat carries flavor.
Half and half
Forms the poaching liquid, adding moisture and a creamy, rich body.
Eggs
Set with heat to give the dish its main structure and richness.
Bread
Soaks up the liquid and gives the dish body and a soft, tender texture.
Parmesan cheese
Adds savory, salty flavor and a little browning when sprinkled on top.

The step that matters

Poach the egg whites at a gentle simmer. A hard boil breaks the delicate egg whites into shreds, while a gentle simmer lets them set into neat, cohesive pieces.
