One way to prevent your poached eggs from spreading out in the water is to add a splash of vinegar to the boiling water before adding the eggs. The acidity helps the egg whites to coagulate and hold their shape.
You can use a regular pot to poach eggs, but a special poaching pan with individual cups can make the process easier and help the eggs keep their shape. If using a regular pot, make sure it is wide enough to allow for the eggs to have enough space to cook without touching each other.
The poached eggs are usually done when the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft. This can take anywhere from 3-5 minutes depending on the size and freshness of the eggs. You can use a slotted spoon to gently lift the eggs out of the water and check their doneness.
To prevent your poached eggs from sticking to the pan, you can lightly coat the cups or pan with cooking spray or a small amount of oil before adding the eggs. You can also swirl the water in the pan before adding the eggs to create a gentle movement that can help prevent sticking.
Poached eggs are best served immediately after cooking. You can serve them on top of toast, English muffins, or even on top of a salad. They also pair well with hollandaise sauce, avocado, or smoked salmon. Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite way to enjoy poached eggs!
