If you’re like me, you love eggs. I know the doctors said don’t eat eggs, they’re bad for you and now they’re saying oops we were wrong. For me, there’s something about a fork cutting open a runny yolk and seeing all that yellowy goodness oozing across the plate.
Frying an egg is no big deal for me, I can do that with my eyes blindfolded and dancing a jig but when it comes to poaching an egg mine come out looking like an egg in a torn, flimsy wedding dress. Imagine my delight when I came across The Gingerbread Girl’s blog about how to poach an egg. I can’t say that this is her original recipe because once again, it’s based on our old friend Julia Child. It’s really a fake poached egg but with more taste and flavor I think.
You’ll need 4 ramekins or small heatproof bowls for this method.

Now to be strict about it I would call this recipe coddled egg rather than poached, which involves dangerous swirling of boiling water in pans. I like your description of ragged poached egg. I can watch celeb. chefs do this a hundred times and come out with something perfect. It doesn’t work for me either!
