How long to poach an egg – perfect timings for runny yolk

Lightly poach for two to three minutes.

For smaller eggs opt for two minutes to achieve a runny yolk and set whites, for a larger egg err closer to three minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen towels.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.

Serve on toast, and add smoked salmon or ham and hollandaise sauce for a richer breakfast.
