Chef's Notes
Do not let your Greek yogurt stay ice-cold straight from the fridge, or it will instantly seize up and chill your warm poached eggs into a sad, lukewarm puddle.
Pro Tip
Crack your eggs into individual small ramekins or bowls before sliding them into the simmering water. It saves you from broken yolks and utter despair.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You get distracted scrolling on your phone for ten seconds, turning your spiced butter into a scorched, acrid black sludge that smells like a bonfire and ruins the entire aesthetic.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I suppose if you can't be bothered to toast bread yourself, you could always just stare at the butter until it melts out of sheer disappointment.
The Culinary Science
Adding a splash of vinegar to your poaching water lowers the pH, which accelerates the coagulation of egg whites so they wrap neatly around the yolk instead of feathering out into a wispy mess.
