Poach the Eggs
Crack each egg into a small bowl. Once the water is simmering, create a gentle whirlpool in the water using a spoon. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the second egg. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
