Eggs, and how to love them.

Yeah.

I've tried the method a few times as well - it's always been hit and miss for me.

that's weird. were you stirring while the egg was in the water?

Yeah.

This did not work out so well. The yolk kept separating from the whites. Maybe the eggs weren't fresh enough. I ended up making a plastic wrap "cup" and put the egg in the there, twisted it shut and tied it off. This way the eggs would poach in the plastic wrap and not separate. Only problem is the egg whites stuck to the plastic a little bit.

In a 4q sauce pan bring 2-3q of water, 1T salt, and 1T of vinegar to boil. When the water is boiling use a spoon to swirl the water and create a vortex. Turn off the heat. Add the egg to the swirling water (I open the egg in a small glass/cup so I don't worry about the shell) and cover for 4 minutes. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon, et voilà.

I cooked a variation of egg-in-a-hole for breakfast today. Instead of frying the egg in the middle of toast, I fried it in an avocado and topped it with some green chile salsa. It was delish!

Nice! That sounds great.

Breakfast burritos on Saturday with scrambled eggs. Sunday was also scrambled eggs but with cinnamon toast on the side.

Bought three ranchero egg kolaches this morning and didn't eat any of them. More beggars than usual on Main Street today

I did make some mean omelettes on Saturday morning. The kids totally loved them.

So much for your reward!

We have one of those poaching pans that makes them in perfect circular shape. Great for mcmuffins.

Anyone have a fool proof method for poaching eggs? I am making sausage and eggplant stacks for breakfast tomorrow and it calls for a poached egg on top. If I can't get them right I will just substitute a sunny side up egg.

Measuring tape. C'mon, who hasn't measured?

Given the thread, seems like you're addressing the wrong piece of anatomy.

[BigFatMeanie]

How did you go about reaching that conclusion?

Hmm, good question. I'm big so it can't be short man's syndrome. My penis is completely average so I don't think I'm overcompensating for penis size. It must be some other deficiency I'm overcompensating for that makes me so mean. I'm open to suggestions.
