Poached Eggs on Toast image

I love poached eggs on toast, but never knew quite how to make them till I found these easy instructions in my 1979 Pillsbury Cookbook, a cookbook which I've had for many years.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 slice of bread (toasted & buttered)
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
black pepper, add according to taste
dried parsley flakes, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly grease a deep skillet, or a saucepan. (I spray the skillet or saucepan with a no-stick cooking spray.)
  • 2. Add 1-inch of water to the skillet, but if using the saucepan, add 1-1/2-inches of water.
  • 3. To the water, add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt; then heat water just to boiling.
  • 4. Break eggs into 2 separate custard dishes.
  • 5. When the water comes to a boil, carefully slip the eggs into the skillet or saucepan.
  • 6. Cover the pan or skillet, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
  • 7. Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon or pancake turner.
  • 8. Serve poached eggs on buttered toast, then season with black pepper and a light sprinkle of dried parsley flakes.
