One of the many culinary things I learned from my mom is how to make the perfect poached egg. Anyone who has tried to poach eggs knows there is a fine line between underdone and overdone. And there is about a 15 second window called "perfect." Underdone means the whites are jiggly and a bit raw near the yolk. Overdone means the yolk has gone from perfectly liquid, to bordering on cooked through. The perfect poached egg means the white is 100% cooked and non-jiggly and the yolk is nearly all liquid. Perfect for mashing up on a piece of toasted french bread with butter, salt and pepper.
Look mom! You've taught me well!
Steve thanks you too!

YUM...that's what I'm having for dinner tonight.
It's also an awesome breakfast, lunch or dinner when you haven't gone grocery shopping in a million years. There is usually bread and eggs in the house.
I wish I like eggs . . .
I mean "liked"
That looks soooooo good! Jen, you're crazy!
I have personally had your poached eggs on several occasions and they really are perfect! Yum! Makes me want one right now.
