How To Perfectly Poach An Egg

Finally, I’ve perfected the Poached Egg!

I’ve been eating a lot of poached eggs lately because I seem to have an obsession with Avocado Toast topped with Poached Eggs… OBSESSED!

After much trial and error of trying to perfect the poached egg, I finally did it and I can’t wait to share it with you all! 🙂

Step One:

Crack each Egg into a ramekin dish, or something similar like these little glass bowls, or you could even use a measuring cup.

Step Two:

Fill a saucepan 2/3 full of water.

Bring water to a boil then turn down heat so the water is a slow simmer. You’ll see bubbles coming to the surface but it won’t be a rolling boil.

Step Three:

Take a large spoon and swirl the water in a circular motion.

Step Four:

Bring the dish with the Egg as close to the water as you can get and slowly let the Egg slip into the swirling water.

Cook the Egg for about 2 1/2 minutes.

Cooking time will really depend on how runny you like your poached Eggs. I personally like mine a little more runny. If you like your yolk cooked a little more you could cook it 3-4 minutes.

Remove the Egg with a slotted spoon.

Eat as is, or add it to toast.

My favorite is to add it to Avocado Toast, YUM!
