It goes by many names but "Cowboy Toast" is great. You take a shot glass and hollow out one circle of bread. Add a slab of butter to a pan, add the bread, and crack a raw egg to fill the hollowed circle. Toast, flip, and serve with Tabasco on top if you wish.

I grew up knowing this, minus the Tabasco, as eggs-in-a-window. And my mom used a biscuit cutter instead of a shot glass, though that would have been pretty amusing (maybe not as much to my younger self).

Try it with Tony Cachere's!

This was "egg in the middle" when I was growing up.

Now, a poached egg is you boil water and then crack an egg into it, right? I've actually never poached an egg before. Get back to me tonight and I might do that for breakfast tomorrow morning.

It's steamed eggs. The real way is a pan that has a little tray with indentions and holes that sits above a cavity that you put water to boil with a lid on top. You end up with with egg hockey pucks. I have a plastic microwave one that works decently enough. Same idea, 2 indentions for the eggs and you put a few drops of water in and a lid, then nuke for a bit. I always poach mine hard, then flip them out on top of buttered toast.

Why don't you ever post about your morning sausage breakfast? It's just cruel killing all those cats.

So then what is it called when you crack an egg into boiling water? Because I thought that's what a poached egg was. Or is that just the incorrect way of doing it when you lack the right things.

That is what a poached egg is. The way Hobie is describing is just a more convenient and fool proof modern method. If you don't like runny yolk and hassle it's best to do it as Hobie said. Steamed eggs is a chinese dish I think. Never had it myself, looks odd.

I do the egg in a pan thing. Big, deep pan, bring water to boil then simmer, get a spoon and stir the water until you've got a bit of a current, then crack the egg in. The movement of the water should keep the egg together. Some people add a bit of vinegar to the pan but I've never actually seen any obvious benefit from doing this. You should add a pinch or two of salt though. Yummy.



I'm hungry now.

Vinegar actually does help it hold together. My wife makes poached eggs for a particular dinner recipe we like and when she does it without the vinegar you can tell. The egg just spreads out and "shreds" in the water.

Couldn't I just break the yolk so it cooks in the water?
