If you know you know. The Cornersmith poached egg roll was a staple on our cafe menu for more than a decade. It makes the perfect breakfast, brunch, dinner or lunch.
We changed it up every season - switching the relish or chutney, the pickles and the greens. Ham, salami or cheddar were optional add-ons.

Cornersmith's tips
To poach 4 eggs perfectly, simmer fresh eggs (they're harder to poach the older they are) in water at just below boiling, optionally adding a little vinegar to help the whites set. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the water, ensuring they don't touch, and poach for 3–4 minutes for a soft yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, trimming any stray whites if you like. Practice and patience are key. You too can become a poached egg master.
