This is the only method I use for the best poached eggs, you will never go wrong with this recipe! you may of coarse increase the eggs to whatever amount desired, the addition of a small amount of milk will create a softer egg

3 eggs (change servings and units)

Directions

  1. 1
    Grease a saucepan with a very small amount of melted butter or margarine (do not use cooking spray it will affect the taste of the eggs).

  3. 3
    Add in milk and a pinch of salt to the water; bring to a boil then reduce to a light simmer.

    I've used the vinegar method for years, after this recipe I won't go back. The milk must be the trick to keeping the whites together, better than the vinegar. We have poached eggs a couple of times a week so I'm glad I found this and tried this it. Thanks, Kittencal!

    I made poached eggs and pancakes for dinner the other night and the eggs were PERFECT! I will always use this recipe from now on! I used to use a little vinegar and if you don't have fresh eggs, sometimes the whites will separate. With this recipe the whites will stay together. Thanks for posting!

    I normally stay away from poaching eggs because it never works for me, I usually end up with a mess. I decided to give it one more try using this recipe and it worked! My egg was perfectly done in 3-1/2 minutes and I ate it on 1/2 of a whole wheat English muffin. Thank you Kittencal!
