POACHED EGGS

Have the water boiling, and the toast moistened in a little salt water, and buttered. Break the eggs, one by one, carefully into the water, let them boil till the white sets, remove with an egg slice, pare off the ragged edges and lay each egg upon a slice of toast; put over bits of butter, salt and pepper. Eggs require to be quite fresh to poach nicely.
