Poach

There's nothing quite like the taste and texture of perfectly poached eggs, made with pillowy egg whites that ooze runny yolks when pierced. Poached eggs can be difficult to prepare, as they're cooked without the shell in water that's heated to about 167 °F (lightly simmering.) You want to be sure they don't "break" when dropping them in the water, so it's best to crack them into a small bowl one-by-one and slide them into the water when ready to cook. Let them simmer for about 4 minutes, until the whites are firm and opaque. The yolk should still be liquid inside. Remove with a slotted spoon. Poached eggs are delicious in egg's benedict, snuck into hot sandwiches or simply served on a bed of asparagus with salt and pepper.
