“My family loves poached eggs, but I hate how they often look ragged and uneven. To make perfectly tidy eggs, I follow an egg coddling technique and use 6-ounce ramekins. Just spritz the ramekins with vegetable oil spray, put them in a 12-inch skillet, add water to about halfway up the outside of the ramekins, cover the skillet, and bring the water to a boil. Crack the eggs into the ramekins, reduce the heat so the water is simmering, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes (depending on how runny you like the yolks). You have to handle the hot ramekins carefully, but the eggs come right out—and they’re the perfect size for English muffins.”-Kitchen Shortcut from Precious Jones, Lake Charles, Louisiana.
