A poached egg is a popular dish that can be easily made at home.
A poached egg is a popular dish that is often served in restaurants.
Making it at home may seem complicated, as it requires a special mold and patience.
Often, instead of the tender white with a runny yolk, you end up with a failed mass resembling a soft-boiled egg on your plate.
But there is a simple way — try making a poached egg using regular plastic wrap.
To do this, cut a square of wrap and grease it with vegetable oil, which is convenient to do with a pastry brush.
Crack the egg directly onto the wrap, tie the ends into a knot, and place it in boiling water. Cook the poached egg in the wrap for about five minutes.
If you don't have plastic wrap, you can use a regular cellophane bag. An egg cooked this way will not be inferior in taste to dishes prepared by a chef in a restaurant.
