How Do You Poach An Egg In Boiling Water?
To poach an egg in boiling water, first bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Crack an egg into a shallow dish or cup and then gently pour into the boiling water. Turn off the heat and cover the pot, allowing the egg to cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and drain any excess water. The end result should be a perfectly poached egg with a slightly runny yolk.
