How To Make Poached Eggs

Poached Eggs Recipe. Why not try poached eggs instead of the usual boiled or fried? You'll soon get hooked! A great accompaniment to toast. Relish our Poached Eggs recipe.


Step 1:

You will need …

  • 4 eggs
  • 5 Tbsp vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp salt
  • pepper
  • 1 frying pan
  • 4 rings
  • 1 fish slice
  • 4 ramekins

Step 2:

Heat the water

Place a pan, half filled with water, on a medium heat. Add the vinegar and salt. Place the four metal rings in the pan and bring to a simmer.

Step 3:

Break the eggs into the ramekins

Crack one egg on the side of the ramekin and then carefully break it in. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs.

Step 4:

Poach the eggs

Carefully pour each egg into one of the four rings and leave to cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5:

Remove the rings

With a cloth to protect your hands remove the metal rings from the pan, leaving the eggs still in.

Step 6:

Serve

Take the pan off the heat and serve the eggs immediately on some toast, seasoning to taste just before serving.

You don't need to use four ramikans and you don't need to add vinegar either. Better still, just buy a good quality poaching pan and save yourself a lot of bother. Also, watch how they broke the first egg yolk and so had to replace it!!

I added enough tap water to cover the ring then turned on the stove. The eeg white was cooked fine but the yolk was raw perhaps it was necessary to cook it for few more mintues on a low heat

I can't understand using 4 ramakins when one will do. And omit the vinegar.
