When you break the white egg, the yolk melts. It is a poached egg that makes cooking very fashionable, but it takes a lot of time and effort to make it well, such as adjusting the heat and the amount of hot water, and adding vinegar.

So, I tried the 100-yen "poached egg cup" this time. It has a silicon pocket shape, and it is said that "a soft-boiled egg can be easily made".



Lightly coat the cup with butter or oil, add the egg and float it in a boiling pan. Turn off the heat, cover and wait for about 10 minutes to complete. Slide with a butter knife or spoon to serve.




Since it's a big deal, I'll show you how to make "Eggs Benedict", which is synonymous with fashionable breakfast.

While waiting for the poached egg, bake the English muffins and bacon sliced in half.


Melt butter (15g (0.53oz)) in the microwave and mix egg yolk (1 piece), mayonnaise (1 tablespoon), salt and pepper, and a little lemon juice to make Hollandaise sauce.


Place bacon and poached egg on the muffin and sprinkle with sauce to complete.

Tips and points

Although it is not a common poached egg with yolk wrapped in white, the white has hardened and a delicious egg with the yolk in a soft-boiled state has been produced. The hardness can be adjusted by soaking in hot water, but if you want to make the yolk thick, it is best to pull it up with the yolk around it slightly plump.


A poached egg that looks and nourishes when topped with rice bowls or pasta. You may want to prepare cups for your family and make them all at once.
