Simple Cheats Way to Poach an Egg

Try this simple cheats poached eggs method and you will have delicious poached eggs every time.

All you have to do is fill a frying pan (non stick is best) about a ⅓ of the way with water,  season with salt, bring to to a boil, then turn down heat slightly so it is not vigorously bubbling and crack in your eggs just like you would a fried egg. Then you can either add a lid to steam the top or if you don't have a lid that fits, carefully splash over the top with water, until they are cooked to your liking (approx 4 mins for a poached egg - but time will vary depending on how runny you like your yolk), then carefully remove with a spatula. It is as simple as that - Easy Cheats Poached Eggs.
