  • 1-2 Fresh Eggs, the fresher the better

  • Once cooked, scoop your egg from the poacher with a slotted spoon, let it drain, and set it on your plate, perfectly poached and ready to enjoy

Tips / Notes

I am not really an egg lover, but toasted sour dough with avocado and a poached egg is  just too good to resist.
