How to poach an egg:

If you’ve never poached an egg before, no worries. It’s simple, but there are a few things to keep in mind. People have different ways for making perfect poached eggs, but I’ll be sharing what’s worked for me.

It’s so YUMMY! smile
Directions

Poached egg

Step 1/6
Boil the water. In a saucepan, bring your water to a boil. Add a very little bit of vinegar to the water, which helps keep the egg white together (and it looks better that way).
Step 2/6
Crack the egg and drain the egg whites. Instead of cracking the eggs directly into the water, crack one egg at a time into a small fine mesh sieve.
Step 3/6
Give the sieve a little shake to allow the liquid part of the egg whites to drain, which gives you neater-looking poached eggs.
Step 4/6
Create a vortex in the water. Once the water is boiling, use a wooden spoon to stir the water to create a vortex. This helps create spherical poached eggs.  

Step 5/6
Cook the egg for no more than 3 minutes. Quickly add the egg to the middle of the vortex (you can only cook one at a time) and cook for just 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 6/6
Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper or paper towel.

Directions:

Step 1/4
Prepare the garlicky yogurt sauce by whisking together yogurt, garlic and salt in a small bowl. Divide the sauce between two serving bowls and set aside.
Step 2/4
Poach the eggs. Poach each egg in boiling water for about 2 to 3 minutes (using tips for how to poach eggs just above). When the second egg is cooking, begin the next step.
Step 3/4
Make the warmed olive oil sauce. In a small pan, gently heat a good 3 tablespoons or so of extra virgin olive oil with 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper flakes over medium heat.
Step 4/4
Assemble. Immediately transfer poached eggs to the prepared yogurt bowls and drizzle with the warmed olive oil. Serve with your favorite rustic bread.
