How to Make Smoky Poached Eggs

  1. Fill your poaching pan with enough water to come halfway up the sides of your ramekins or cups.
  2. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Avoid a rolling boil.
  3. Lightly grease 4 ramekins or oven-safe cups with butter or cooking spray.
  4. Carefully crack one large egg into each prepared ramekin.
  5. Add 3-4 drops of liquid smoke to each egg.
  6. Sprinkle each egg with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt.
  7. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Gently place the ramekins into the simmering water. Cover the pan and poach for 3-5 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for firmer yolks.
  9. Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the ramekins from the water using tongs or a slotted spoon.
  10. Serve immediately with toasted bread, corned beef hash, or both! Enjoy!
