  • Poached eggs are a beautiful thing. The whites are just firm enough on the outside to contain an oozy, golden yolk in a round little egg package. And they make for a delicious, healthy breakfast. With a few tips, you too can learn how to poach an egg perfectly every time!

    Hi guys! For those of you who may be a little intimidated with making poached eggs at home, I hope today's tutorial will show you just how easy it is! You can store poached eggs for 4-5 days in the fridge (see more tips in the recipe post), so they're also great for meal prep! What's your favorite breakfast with poached eggs? xo - Lisa

    I had never made a poached egg before (I'm 53). Today, I wanted one for breakfast on some avocado toast, so I brought up this video, watched it, and followed this with absolute precision. I made one for me and one for my wife, and she and I agreed that they came out absolutely perfectly. We were blown away. My first two poached eggs EVER were as perfect as anything I've ever had at a restaurant. Thanks for the great tutorial.

    In my biotechnology classes, I had learned that a bit of salt helps protein dissolve in water; basically the protein becomes more "water friendly", hence dissolves easily. So this may explain why the albumin (egg white) goes out of wack in salt water; it is just finding it easier to interact with the water and hence can dissipate easier.
    However if you add the vinegar, the pH lowers and since proteins can only maintain their structure (in this case, the liquid nature of the albumin) in a VERY specific range of pH and temperature, the lowered pH along with the heat will help coagulate the albumin faster.
    THANKS A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO ma'am. Really helpful !

      😂😂😂.ive been eating my own made poached eggs every day for over 50 yrs. Put enough water to cover the egg, add a big splash of apple cider vinegar, boil medium to high, make sure the water bubbles over the top (i swirl it some to make sure my yolk is squishy, not firm). I just pour out the water while holding the egg in the pan w a spoon. Then slide it into the bowl. No probs but i've done it thousands of times.😊

Definitely won’t be my last time. I got more yolk cookin them this way then when I fry them and they weren’t over OR under cooked. My mom loved that they didn’t taste like oil and grease. This one’s going into my recipe book. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻

    It is content like this that makes me genuinely grateful to be alive right now. I might have never learned how to make a poached egg before, or had to spend weeks of time trying one persons' method with no evidence that it works or is practical! Here you teach flawlessly, engaging with "other ways" and presenting one, not as the best, but as the one you found to work. All in a quick, calm, beautiful way. Thank you!

    Brilliant, and well explained; as making poached eggs are tricky to cook, and thank you for explaining how to make the "perfect poached egg!!"

    My poached eggs came out perfect thanks to you. I did use vinegar and swirled just in case. I placed them on top of smoked salmon and toasted English Muffin to make perfect Salmon benedict!

    Like yourself, I have tried many methods to try & perfect these over the years.. Your method worked perfectly and even tried the re-heating method as a test. Again, perfect results! Thanks so much for sharing :)

    Thank you!!! I think I've gone through a dozen or two eggs to figure out how to do this. And your method worked great!

    I never poached eggs until this morning after I watched your video and they came out absolutely perfect. I followed the recipe exactly as described. Thank you for trying out all approaches and sharing with us the winning combination 🙌
