  2. Crack 2 large eggs gently into separate small bowls.
  3. Carefully pour the eggs into the simmering water, leaving about an inch of space between each egg.
  4. Cover the pan immediately with the lid and steam for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for more cooked yolks.
  5. Carefully remove the eggs from the skillet with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Enjoy!
