Poached Eggs
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 pt. water, boiling
Directions
- Butter the bottom of a saucepan or frying-pan.
- Fill half full of boiling water.
- Break the eggs one at a time in a sauce dish, and slip them very gently into the pan of boiling water.
- The eggs will lower the temperature of the water to a point below the boiling point.
- Keep the water at this point (below boiling).
- Allow the eggs to remain in the water four to six minutes, or until the desired consistency.
- Remove from the water with a skimmer and serve on slices of toast which are hot, buttered, and slightly moistened with water.
- The proper length of time for poaching eggs is until a white film has formed over the yolks and the white is firm.
- A tin or aluminum egg poacher is very convenient.
- When using rings, butter the rings, fill each compartment with an egg, and dip into the boiling water.
- These are inexpensive, and economical, as no part of the egg is wasted.
