Notes

For poaching eggs, crack each egg into a small bowl first, then gently slide it into the simmering water. This keeps it from breaking apart. Let the eggs cook for about 3-4 minutes if you want that perfect, runny yolk, or a minute longer for slightly firmer eggs.
Once they’re ready, lift them out carefully with a slotted spoon, letting any excess water drip off and place it on toast.
