Poached Eggs in Plastic Wrap

Treat yourself to something a little fancy — make a French-style breakfast! This recipe is so simple I'd call it a beginner's guide. I make poached eggs several different ways, and this is the easiest of them all. It's a breakfast that's filling, wholesome, quick, and pretty all at once.

    1. Cut a square piece of plastic wrap and have a piece of string or thread ready. Drape the wrap over a cup.
    1. Drop a little olive oil in the center (this keeps the egg white from sticking and helps it spread evenly across the wrap).
    1. Pour water into a small saucepan and set it over the heat.
    1. When the water boils, crack the egg onto the wrap, gather up the edges, and twist the wrap into a little pouch, tying it off at the top with the string.
    1. Lower the egg pouch into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.
  • This kind of egg is usually served on a slice of crisp toast, finished with a sauce and some lettuce leaves.
  • A delicious combination!
  • Enjoy!
