INSTRUCTIONS
1. Gently simmer the water: Fill a medium saucepan with about 8 cm of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat until it simmers gently.

4. Cook: 3 to 4 minutes. You can check for doneness by lifting the egg with a slotted spoon and gently pressing on the yolk.
5. Remove the poached egg: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess water before serving.
