​The Perfect Poached Egg

Picture
Poached eggs on toast are great for breakfast, but getting the eggs poached to perfection can be tricky.

If you have a bamboo steamer (you can get them from any Asian grocer for just a few dollars) you can use it to cook your eggs, quickly and easily. Fill a wok with water, put the bamboo steamer on it. Use a small dish, sauces dishes are ideal, for each egg. You can also buy silicone egg poachers which would work too, although they are quite pricey.

Place the dishes into the steamer and pop the lid on. The eggs should be ready in five minutes, depending on how hard you like the yolks.

​Simply slide the egg from the dish onto hot, buttered toast and enjoy.
