Title: Poached eggs on toast.....
Post by: Pigmeat on January 17, 2017, 0253 UTC
So easy even Al can do it. Well, mebbe.

You're going to need two eggs, two slices of bread, a bowl, a plate, a slotted spoon, and a pot for the water. This is a quick one.

Fill the pot with 2 inches of water and place over medium heat, crack the eggs and let them rest in the bowl. When the water is between a simmer and a boil, stir with the spoon and add the eggs as the water is still rotating. This sets the whites. Set your timer just shy of two minutes and throw the bread in the toaster.

When the water comes back to a boil the loose whites are going to try to boil over, cut the heat back, skim, and dispose. Slowly bring the heat back up.

Throw the now ready toast on the plate, and if the timer is close to two minutes, pull off the heat. They'll continue to cook until you get to the table. Use the slotted spoon to put the eggs on the slices of toast. Grab a fork, salt. and pepper and eat up. This will produce an egg just a tad more cooked that "over easy" if you were frying them. Clean up is easy to.

I've been making them this way since I was 8. I'm not dead yet. Everyone thinks poached eggs are difficult. They're dead easy if you know the spin technique and have the amazing slotted spoon.
