Poached Eggs


My son and I take a few recipes and experience with them together. This week one of them was poached eggs. I love eggs over medium. Most of my family loves them over hard. This recipe is quick and easy. We serve this over toast and cheese sauce. (Martha Stewart Directions)

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 or 4 large eggs

DIRECTIONS

  1. STEP 1

    In a 12-inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and sides of pan. Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolks). When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
  2. STEP 2

    Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary.
  3. STEP 3

    Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water. If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving
