How to Make Perfect Poached Eggs + Breakfast Idea

Ingredients for poaching

Fresh Eggs

Cling film

Small cup or bowl – non-clingy plastic or pottery ideally

Spray oil (I use olive oil)

Saucepan of boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Place cling film over the cup and spray lightly with oil.

Step 2

Gather the edges together and twist to secure, making sure you expel all the air as you do.

Step 3

Place into boiling water and cook for 4 minutes if straight from the fridge, a little less if your egg is at room temperature.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove from the water and snip off the top of the cling film. Open the top and let the egg slip out. Voila! You’ve got perfectly poached eggs!

And here is my favorite breakfast recipe with poached egg!
