This was really good. I made it this morning with eggs benedict. I did cut down the coriander to 1/2tsp as others suggested. I will definately be making my poached eggs this way again. My husband liked the flavor it added as well (although he likes his cooked 3 min.) For a runny yolk.

These eggs are fantastic! I didn't have coriander but used the rest of the spices and it turned out great. The spice amount was perfect - just enough to season but not overpower the egg taste. I only made two eggs, but didn't halve the water or spices, and that's how I'd recommend making them. I cooked them for 5 minutes on the nose and they turned out just the way I like them - a nice soft center but not runny. I'm always on the lookout for easy breakfast recipes (and I always forget about poached eggs!!), and this one goes to the top of the list. I'll be making them this weekend for my husband, and I only hope he loves them as much as I do!

Derf, I have been trying to eat a bit healthier and have been looking through your recipes. Found this little gem today and boy, am I glad I did! Halfed it to 1 serving and the spices amt was dead on! My 2 yr old and I loved this. Also, this was my 1st time poaching eggs and your instructions were great! Thanks again!
