I'm afraid most people on here don't have the time, patience or experience it takes to perfectly cook a poached egg in a pot of boiling water so I'm just trying to show an easy way to enjoy something that usually takes a while to prepare.
If you're lucky this is what an egg poached in boiling water will look like...
Same goes with the hollandaise sauce - I hate to say it but they make it in a pack and it tastes almost as good as what you cook from scratch.
Since we're on the subject I just came across this sweet gadget!!
Egg Poacher & Muffin Toaster
Modern American mornings can now start with the ease and convenience of the popular egg and muffin sandwich at home and at a fraction of the cost charged by drive-thru establishments…
The Egg & Muffin Toaster delivers in about four minutes a convenient and tasty morning meal that’s both familiar and well liked. In addition to being a full-functioning toaster, the Egg & Muffin Toaster can simultaneously: 1) toast the bread, 2) cook an egg (poached or steam-scrambled), and 3) warm a pre-cooked slice of ham or sausage…or any combination of these three functions, in addition to boiling up to four eggs.
It’s a pretty machine and is actually well thought out. The eggs are steamed, so it makes a very nice, consistent poached egg. All will finish at the same time, so it’s all nice and warm. Perfect for the McMuffin. The price tag is not bad - $49.99
