Poached Eggs

Aaron loves a good poached egg. My sweet Mother found silicone egg poachers and thought Aaron might enjoy trying them out. We were a bit skeptical of the very flexible, rubbery little ... poaching things... (I think the packaging called them "Poaching Pods") but Aaron was excited about testing out this weird innovation.

1. Boil a pot of water.
2. Grease the little poaching "pods" (with pam, or put a dollop of butter in each one)
3. Drop the pods into the boiling water... waddyaknow, they float!
4. Crack one egg into each pod
5. Cover the pot and set the timer for 4 minutes and 45 seconds
6. Take the pods out of the water (they don't even get too hot to handle!)
7. Turn the pod upside down onto the plate. The poached egg will usually slip right out. You may need to squish the pod a little with your fingers, or gently use a fork on the edges.
8. Season with salt, pepper and a little basil
9. Violla!! The perfectly poached egg.

No mess, no hassle, a perfect egg every time and these little poaching pods are way cheaper than the traditional egg poaching pot.
