For a light lunch or dinner, serve poached eggs atop steamed vegetables, such as tender asparagus. The soft yolk provides a built-in sauce.

Ingredients

4 eggs, cold
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Heat 2 to 3 inches of water in large saucepan or deep skillet to boiling. Adjust heat to keep liquid simmering gently.
Break eggs, 1 at a time, into custard cup or saucer. Holding dish close to surface, slip egg into water.
Cook eggs until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not stir.
Lift eggs from water with slotted spoon. Drain in spoon or on paper towels. Trim any rough edges, if desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
