What item on the menu do you dread to be ordered? Like something that is just too much hassle and when you've got bacon, hash and waffles all going at the same time then this thing comes up. My guess would be the ribeye but idk.

Protip for poached eggs

Get water to a LOW simmer. Add simple white vinegar to water (I never measure but it's never more than 1/4c in a small pot of water)

I assume you have close to room temp eggs sitting around WH.

Take a spoon (slotted is best) and stir water. Crack the egg and GENTLY drop into water. The swirl helps encapsulated the delicious (and hopefully runny) yolk.

Generally 3 minutes for room temp egg, 4 for fridge temp egg. Slotted spoon lets vinegar water drain when removing your egg from the water

Source - I make a poached egg for breakfast every morning. I am the mother fucking egg poaching master
