HELPFUL HINTS
- *Melt butter; carefully pour off clear liquid. Discard butter solids.
- *To Poach Eggs: Bring 1/2-inch water to a simmer in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Crack one egg into a custard cup; gently slide into simmering water. Repeat with other egg. Cook 2-3 minutes, just until egg whites are set. Yolks should still be runny.
