Time 10m

Yield 2 eggs, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 eggs (organic or free-run is best because the colour of the yolk is beautiful)
water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • In a frying pan, heat enough water to cover the egg(s) to a low boil. Add salt.
  • Crack an egg into a small bowl. Quickly dip bowl into the water. Slide the raw egg into the water. Immediately slide the other egg into the water in the same fashion.
  • TURN OFF HEAT but leave on burner! Cover pan with lid - DO NOT UNCOVER and let sit for 4 to 6 minutes. You can uncover to check them, starting at 4 minutes. You'll know they're done if the white is not really jiggly.
  • Using a slotted spoon, gently place eggs on a tea towel. If you use scented detergents or fabric softeners on your towels, do not use them. Instead, slide egg(s) onto good quality paper towels, so the towel doesn't fall apart. Let sit for a few seconds to drain the water.
  • Place eggs on to toast, a slice of tomato, steamed spinach and/or a piece of low fat cheese.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggs turned out rubbery. I'm going to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right next time.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can't seem to get the eggs to poach correctly. They always end up too hard or too runny.

I'm not a fan of poached eggs, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were light and fluffy, and the hollandaise sauce was delicious.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to the water before poaching the eggs and it made a big difference.

I followed the recipe exactly and my eggs came out overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I've tried many poached egg recipes before, but this one takes the cake. The vinegar and salt in the water really make a difference, resulting in a beautifully poached egg with a firm white and a perfectly runny yolk.

This poached egg recipe is a game-changer! The results were incredibly impressive, with perfectly cooked, soft and runny yolks surrounded by tender, fluffy whites. I was amazed at how easy it was to achieve such a delicate texture.
