Meet the easiest way to poach eggs—just drop 'em right into a sous vide water bath. The texture is different than your standard poached egg; it's creamy and custardy throughout both the yolk and white. This recipe makes six eggs, but you could use any number of eggs you like! The ratio for the outcome is 1:1, meaning that for every egg you put in, you get a cooked one out.
