Poached Eggs + Toast

Several years ago, I received Poach Pods in my Christmas stocking.  At the time, I was confused by them.  After some trial and error, and reading the instructions, I figured out how to use them.  They still were not my "go to" gadget when poaching eggs.  The traditional method was my main method of poaching.

Fast forward to last fall.  I was teaching two of my friends how to make Eggs Benedict.  Great people! Smart!!  Funny!!!  Expert martini makers!!!!  Egg poachers.... not so much.  They did a great job whisking the hollandaise {don't worry, that post is already on the calendar} and toasting the English muffins.  But the poached eggs.  Such a FAIL!  Out of 12 eggs, 6 were viable.  Only a few were runny.  Most were soft boiled.  The moment we sat down I shouted, "Damn it!!!  Poach Pods!"  I got up from the table, turned to Amazon Prime, and insisted my friend order Poach Pods.  Now, their egg poaching game is on point, and, their weekend brunches harmonious.  I have also abandoned the vinegar, water, witch craft method, and, integrated the silicone pod into my routine.
