Lightly scrambled with milk a pinch of salt on rye toast do the trick for me.

I like proper poached eggs....but as much as i have tried,swirling the water, putting vinagar in the water... al la the TV chefs...my poached eggs at home always turn into a train wreck for some reason...whites all over the place, yoke either under or over cooked
I tried to follow Gordon Ramseys advice that putting a bit of vinagar in the water, which he said sets the whites quicky so they keep together....well guess what Gordon ? No if <duck>ing doesnt

No if <duck>ing doesnt My Nan taught me to poach eggs the vinegar way. I think it takes a bit of practice Soutie-do you put your eggs in boiling water? You sort of have to spoon the eggs into the water. There are two other alternatives-you can purchase a frypan that has inserts for putting the eggs in. Or you can do them in a microwave dish. |

Poached for me (the real way).
Soutie, make sure the water's boiling, drop in a cap of vinegar and a small handful of sea salt.
Crack your egg into a small bowl, turn the pan down to a simmer, stir the water (fast) and while the water is still swirling drop in your egg.
Once the egg is dropped you should not stir the water again.
The time recommended is 3 minutes but that is dependent on how high you set your simmer at, so after practice you get to see by eye if the egg is perfect.
When the egg is ready remove it using a colander spoon, so that the water drains away.

Make life easy for yourself. None of this vinegar and swirling nonsense. Just wrap the egg in a double layer of clingfilm before you put it in the water.

I have used that method a few times (when I have had to cook more than 2 eggs) but they egg has to very compact inside the film and the film deflects some of the heat, so you can't get the yolk perfect every time with this method. |

Now theres an Engineered solution I like, and a bit of lateral thinking....none of this ponsey vinegar, sea salt, rotational shit, <duck> you Ramsey... |

Fair enough but its got to be a step up from the train wrecks i am getting now....  |
