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!
