How do you poach eggs ?

how to poach eggs?

I would say pretty much like you poach anything else, like deer or pheasant, ya sneak in unnoticed an poach 'em...

Just donut get caught

I like my scrambled best but love poached ones...with lots of butter, salt & pepper on an english muffin

scrambled...fried...hard boiled


hmmmm...now I want deviled eggs

POACHED, on top of toast. I have this plastic egg cooker I got for $5 at walmart. you crack an egg into each bubble, put a bit of water in and cook in the microwave for a minute. super delicious with buttered toast dipped in. I hate fried eggs because of the greasy rim that forms, so this is a great quick way to cook them without added fat.

Poached. Mmmmm. Pan of boiling water, add vinegar, stir water vigorously to a vortex, crack egg in a bowl and pour into centre of whirlpool. Fish out with slotted spoon after mins. No egg cooker required.

Or scrambled. Or fried.

Haha that was meant to be "less than 3" minutes with the "<" sign.

Hmmm... Not fertilized LOL.


I would have to say scrambled or poached.

That seems perfect

for breakfast -soft boiled with toast soldiers to dip in the yolk

for lunch -boiled then mashed with mayo on sandwich bread

eggs gross me out a bit usually, sometimes ill want to make an omelet, but i start thinking about cracking an egg and lose my appetite for the omelet, as a result, i dont eat many eggs anymore

forgive me thisilove but what are toast soldiers???? i asume they are cut pieces of toast but how are they cut??? thanks

Well, as a Raven, I like them well nested....

Poached is fine. Scrambled too. Fried over medium in just a little butter or olive oil is great. Omelet, sure. Hard "boiled" the right way with very tender whites. And deviled is divine.

Omelet, with cheese and ham.....YUMMY

Raven, if you put some asparagus in that ham and cheese omelet you will make all your taste buds very happy.

Sunny-side up! Or a cheese omelet, mmmm!

Like toast fingers sloppy..fer dippin in the yoke in an egg cup..

absolute fave. do not like scrambled. AT ALL.

the wife just found a cajun omelet recipe with shrimp...... maybe my new fave!!!!!

Cajun omelet with shrimp, that sounds amazing. Best omelet I ever ate was in Lousiana. Crawfish tails, green onion and swiss cheese. Outstanding!

Raven Egg

in new englands working class taverns/bars they serve pickled eggs. it was 1.00 for a draft and .25 for an egg in the late 70's.

Don't like Pickled Eggs..
Onions ok though.

sandwich..... 1 fried egg, 1 piece of canadian bacon, a good spoonful of greasy home fries, a slice of cheese, a few fried onions all stacked in that order between a new england hard roll.

opps forgot a dash of hot sauce in the home fries!!!

nothing better on a cold morning job site coffee break

Please don't missuse Birdie Eggs...

I like my eggs on a plate, with rye toast.

To get back to the original post,I used to stay at a farm camping site when I was younger, they sold unpasturised Guernsey milk, how can fat and water be fabulous? It was fabulous. English law, you can only buy unpasturised milk directly from the farmer, so farmers are now selling it on the internet!!!!!!

Ramakin eggs, you may have to adjust the timing a bit, butter a ramakin dish, break an egg into it and season. Place the ramakin dish in a shallow tray of water. Place several rashers of bacon (streaky, my fav) in another tray with some oil in (or lard).

Put both trays in the oven with a pitta bread on a shelf, set the temperature for 180C, set the timer for 10 mins before you get up, wake up to breakfast, hopefully of gooey eggs, crispy bacon and hot pitta to scoop it all up with. A timer on the coffee maker just adds to it all.
