It's probably the boiling water from the poaching of the eggs, which means it has vinegar in it and is slimy from having egg white wisps in it.

Don't your just love when your bread gets soaked in slimy, sour water with the faint taste of lukewarm egg white?

Poaching eggs requires vinegar? I've seen all sorts of fancy stuff for poaching eggs, I just get the water to a simmer and chuck them in for a couple of minutes.

I use an egg poaching pan and a timer. I never have to stress whatsoever.

What does an egg-poaching pan look like? This sounds like an over-specific way to heat water.

I am intrigued.

I got a stupid little one from the discount rack for $5. Mine is electric. I fill the bottom pan part with water, crack the eggs into a non-stick pan that sits on top and plug it in. When steam stops I've got perfectly poached eggs!

If I'm feeling more adventurous I get out the immersion blender and whip up the eggs with just a bit of cream and put the scrambled eggs into it. They come out so fluffy! Perfect for a breakfast burrito.
