How to Make Poached Eggs in the Oven
For such a simple little piece of food, preparation of an egg can be complex. Not only do you have all the different ways to prepare an egg, fried, scrambled, poached, and hard- and soft-boiled, you also have the variations within the classifications, like sunny-side up or wet scrambled eggs. A poached egg, often considered more of an advanced technique of cooking, is in truth quite simple to prepare.
