Poached eggs in pouches

If you've never cooked poached eggs and don't have any sort of pan or kitchen tool to make them, then this is by the far the easiest option. 

Step 1 - Cut cling wrap into a square roughly 30cm x 30cm 
Step 2 - Drape cling wrap over a small bowl/cup and pour a small amount of oil in (1/2 a teaspoon) or spray the cling wrap with spray oil.
Step 3 - Crack an egg into the cling wrap resting in the cup
Step 4 - Grab all 4 corners of the cling wrap and tie into a knot so you now have the egg in a tied pouch.  Make sure it's tight and there's no air is in the pouch. Repeat for all desired amount of eggs.
Step 5 - Boil for 5 minutes but be careful to not overboil, you want a soft yolk.
Step 6 - Remove eggs from water, cut the knot off the pouch and gently peel the cling wrap away. Serve with salt and black pepper.
Enjoy.
