TikTok star Georgie (@georgiehalfacree) cooks up a storm in her short videos. Making pasta, making butter, guacamole… you name it and Georgie makes it. Her tip for making perfect poached eggs is brilliant.
How do you make a perfect poached egg?
- Tear off a piece of plastic wrap. Not microwave wrap, as it has small holes in it.
- Place the piece of plastic wrap in a small bowl.
- Brush it with oil.
- Crack the egg over the bowl.
- Take the corners of the plastic wrap, fold them together and make a small pouch containing the egg without any air. The pouch must be completely sealed.
- Hang the pouch in a pan of boiling water for 3 minutes.
- Cut open the pouch and voilà: a perfect poached egg.
And then? Poached egg on avocado toast, on eggs Benedict, on asparagus, or simply on warm toasted bread with butter.
