All you need is some cling film, a mug and your egg!
I covered the mug with the cling film, making a little well for the egg,
Then I twisted the top to make an "egg parcel" and popped it in a pot of boiling water until it all goes white.
Give it a little prod or two if you're not sure.
Twist the cling film really well before it goes in the water, in case it has a tendency to unravel slightly, like mine did.
Then pop it on a plate and serve with whatever you like, seeing as I was dreaming and yearning for the Crabtrees breakfast that I had last week I served it with smoked salmon and the home made bread I made yesterday.
One of the easiest, tastiest and simplest breakfasts!
Sending this recipe straight over to the BF, he is on a constant mission to find the perfect poached egg!!

Thanks Emma Jade! xx
Deletethis looks like a great method of poaching eggs! I'm still experimenting with methods and will definitely try this one! also that bread looks delicious! xxx
ReplyDeleteI was so pleased when I came across it, all credits to Valentina! The bread is sooo good, wholemeal would have probably been a healthier option though! Xxx
DeleteI have never heard of this before! Usually mine end up splitting before I can top them on toast, so definitely giving this a go, thanks Lottie :)
