Poached Eggs

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.

  2. Carefully drop the eggs into the boiling water.

  3. Cook until a white coating forms around the yolk, about 3-4 minutes.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
