Directions
Put about 1 ½ to 2 inches of water in a skillet and bring to a simmer. You should see bubbles starting to dance around but not a raging boil.
Add about a tablespoon of vinegar into the water.
Crack eggs into individual custard cups or ramekins.
Put the cup all the way to the edge of the water and gently drop the egg into the water. Move on to the next egg. Don’t do more than 4, it will crowd the pan. Cook 4 ½ minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. I rest mine on a towel for a couple of seconds to make sure all the water is off the spoon before placing it on the toast.
Patti’s Notes: Don’t rush the getting*the*egg*into*the*water part. If you do this fast or don’t put the cup to the edge of the water you will end up with egg drop soup! Don’t worry about some of the egg white moving into the water. Plenty of white will be surrounding the yoke into a perfect packet. I don’t like my eggs runny so I set the timer for 5 minutes. It’s a little firm but still creamy in the center. Most people like when the yoke runs into the toast so adjust your time accordingly.

Healthy Meter: You just prepared a delicious egg without any added fat. 74 calories each and less than 10 minutes of your morning. People seem to like Hollandaise sauce on poached eggs. Seriously, when something is so good on its own, why cover it up?!
Easy Meter: Not that difficult. If you can boil water, not rush the egg dropping process and set a timer - you’ve got it made. If you undercook an egg, put it back in the water. If you overcook an egg, try it again. Eggs are fairly inexpensive.
