What is a Poached Egg?
Although you might envision sneaking through a forest marked with “no trespassing” signs to make poached eggs, a poached egg is actually just an egg which has been simmered in water until the white solidifies. Poached eggs are the stars of eggs Benedict, a popular egg dish, and they can also be used in a number of other ways as well. Poached eggs are very easy to make at home, especially if you happen to own an egg poacher.
