Poached Eggs with Gravy

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 water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan.

  2. Crack each egg into a small bowl.

  3. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water.

  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.

  5. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. Serve the poached eggs over warm gravy.

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.
