It all works out in the end. thanks Love the whirlpool technique – and you are completely right about not freaking out about the egg whites going everywhere. It all works out in the end.

I am now officially your biggest fan! xo You’ve given me the confidence to try my 2 fave brunch dishes, which I usually end up making with an over easy egg because I’m so awful at poaching…

I'm not usually good with things that require me to be very precise, so I was worried about how my first poached egg would turn out. No problems whatsoever, though. I thought it might be beginner's luck, but I did it perfectly the next day too! Thank you, this was perfect!

There is really nothing better for so little effort. Also, I think the photo of the egg on toast at the top is my favorite I've ever seen on this site.

I have tried poaching eggs a number of times and have tried using a number of techniques but I always ended up with a sad yolk with about 1/4 inch of white around it. The whirlpool method totally did it for me. I had mine on toast with asparagus. Yay!

Not your fault, I think I am supposed to fry eggs :( Oh but speaking of liking poached eggs on everything, have you tried one on a bacon cheeseburger? Oh my heart, YUM! :) Thanks for the step by step, I am going to try again! I just tried it and failed miserably!
