To cook a perfect soft poached egg, remember: it's just an egg in water—don’t be afraid! Start with the freshest eggs available.
Bring a pan of water to a simmer, crack in the egg, and let it cook for three to four minutes. Adjust the time for desired softness.
Whisking the water to create a vortex before slipping in the egg is a technique some prefer for a neater shape, though it’s not necessary.
Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out gently, allowing excess water to drain before serving it on buttered toast or a muffin.
