Ingredients:
4 eggs
French bread toast
Directions:
In a 12 inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches of water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and side of pan.
Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolk).
When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
Use rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water.
If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving.
