Here's how it's done:
You place a square piece of plastic Saran on a small pinch bowl or ramekin. Crack an egg into it. Gather the corners above the egg and tie with an elastic or twist tie. Poach in boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove from water, gently open the Saran and place the egg on your fancy sandwich bread.
Then one day not too long ago I ran out of 3$ Saran. Since this is pretty much the only thing I use it for (thanks to my arsenal of Tupperware), I thought of taking another look for egg poachers. It's not that I needed another one-use gadget, but I could see myself using this often; maybe it's usefulness was worth my 6$, so I bought two and started assembling.
You'll need:
eggs
green onions
bread
prociutto (or other meats if you dare, I added Montreal style oven roasted Turkey)
oilive oil
arugula
s&p
a good poaching method
Alright, alright, the poachers I purchased were 2$ each, plastic and they half-sank when I tossed them loaded with the egg in the simmering water; they immediately took on as much water as a paddle-boat on a stormy lake. The eggs tanked, basically.
My breakfast was tasty, but I prefer my poached eggs on the perfect side. Those darn plastic cheap poachers ruined it for me. They're so bad I can't find a picture of the product on Google. That's sayin' somethin'.
