Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large eggs
1 tsp white vinegar
2 slice bread
1 or 2 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place about 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low as soon as water starts to boil. Add the vinegar to the water.
  • 2. Break each egg carefully, so as not to break the yolk, into a separate cup and carefully add each to the water. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes.
  • 3. Remove eggs from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels while the bread is toasting.
  • 4. Butter the toast and, again with a slotted spoon, lay each egg atop a slice of buttered toast. Salt and pepper to your taste.
  • 5. NOTE: The addition of vinegar to the water helps the whites of the eggs firm up and not spread out into the water.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 slice of bread (toasted & buttered)
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
black pepper, add according to taste
dried parsley flakes, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly grease a deep skillet, or a saucepan. (I spray the skillet or saucepan with a no-stick cooking spray.)
  • 2. Add 1-inch of water to the skillet, but if using the saucepan, add 1-1/2-inches of water.
  • 3. To the water, add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt; then heat water just to boiling.
  • 4. Break eggs into 2 separate custard dishes.
  • 5. When the water comes to a boil, carefully slip the eggs into the skillet or saucepan.
  • 6. Cover the pan or skillet, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
  • 7. Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon or pancake turner.
  • 8. Serve poached eggs on buttered toast, then season with black pepper and a light sprinkle of dried parsley flakes.
