Here's how to poach perfect eggs.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 10 minutes
Here's How:
Pour water into a large skillet to a depth of about 2 inches.
Bring to a boil.
Break an egg into a cup.
Carefully slide the egg from the cup into the boiling water.
Add as many as 6 eggs to the water.
Immediately reduce the heat so the water barely moves.
Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the yolks are still runny but the whites are firm.
To test, lift an egg out of the water with a slotted spoon and gently press the thickest part of the white with a finger. If it feels firm to the touch, it's done.
Drain lightly, season and serve.
Tips:
For perfectly round eggs, trim with scissors.
Poach eggs in advance by slipping into a bowl of cool water. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. To reheat, place the eggs in hot water for about 10 minutes. Drain well before serving.
What You Need:
Large skillet
Water
Egg(s)
