Poaching Eggs is one of the esaiest,quickest,and low calore way of prepering eggs,as there is no added fat.Poached eggs make great addutions to salads,or sandwiches,or just served simply with tost and a little salt and pepper.


Here is the recipe how to make a poached egg.............

METHOD:---


First boil water in a shallow (or you can use a soucepan also)pan add vinegar bring a boil and keep it in alow flame.


The vinegar will help the egg whites to congel more easily (I used normal vinegar you can use any other white vinegar rice vinegar will works well)


Crack egg in asmall cup 0r bowl,then place near the surface of the hot water in the pan and gently drop the egg in to the water. With a spoon move the egg whites closer to their yolks.This will help the egg whites hold together.


switch off the heat cover the pan with alid.Let sit for 4 min.,or till the egg whites are cooked.
