Poached, Both The Egg and the Idea

Old dogs CAN learn new tricks.

Anyway, you crack the egg into a sieve and drain off the runny part of the white, then drop it into simmering water. Voila!

Hmmm. That looks a bit skimpy. I think I need another egg.

Better!

That was one of the best breakfasts I've made in a long time.
