How to Make Poached Eggs

Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Gently slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat for additional eggs, one at a time, ensuring they don’t crowd.

Cook:
Let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.

Remove and Serve:
Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out of the water. Dab gently with a paper towel to remove excess water. Serve immediately.
