Zesty Poached Eggs

That does sound yummy, how do you poach your eggs? I really struggle - infact the only way I am able to is to break the egg into a sandwich bag, then pop that in boiling water.

I had never poached eggs before trying this recipe, so I did my homework: I read lots of "how-to" articles online and watched lots of videos. The problem is...almost everyone does it differently and has totally opposite opinions on different parts of the process. But I found a winner, because the last few times I've done this, my eggs have come out perfectly -- the whites are set, but the yolk is still runny and delish.

So here's how I do it:

-- Get your water (a few inches in a good size pot) to a good simmer -- but don't boil.
-- Break the egg in a ceramic bowl.
-- Slowly drop the egg into the center of the pot.
-- Take a slotted spoon and gently make circles on the surface of the water for a few seconds.
-- Set a timer for 3 minutes.
-- Carefully take the egg out with the slotted spoon.

See how that works for you -- I had to experiment many times, but like I said, I've found much success with this set of directions.
