Poached eggs are cooked in water, not hard-boiled or fried in a pan. The egg whites are firm yet fluffy, and the egg yolks are soft and runny. Some popular foods that require poached eggs include Eggs Florentine and Eggs Benedict. Whether you're making a fancy breakfast or simpler fare--poached eggs are delicious by themselves on toast--poached eggs are easy and satisfying. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Turn on the stove to medium.
2. Fill the base of the egg poacher with water to the waterline (about 1/4 cup water).
3. Place a sandwich bag over your hand to keep your fingers from getting greasy, and pick up 1/2 tbsp. butter.
4. Rub one of the egg holders with the butter to grease it. Repeat this with each egg holder and additional butter.
5. Crack an egg into an egg holder. Repeat this with all the eggs.
6. Place the egg poacher on the stove, and cover it with the lid. Cook until the eggs are completely white, thick and do not wiggle, approximately five to 10 minutes.
7. Flip the egg holder upside down, and the poached eggs will simply fall right out.
