What a lovely recipe Kitten. I've never poached eggs this way. It was quick and really easy with wonderful results. The eggs were perfect, tender and runny just the way I like them, without the taste of vinegar. Thanks for sharing your recipe my friend, I'll be making them this way again. Made for Best of 2015.
