If you've never gotten beautiful poached eggs, try Sunny Anderson's method. The eggs come out perfectly the first time. And for her sandwich, Sunny used pulled pork instead of ham and added a slice of roasted tomato. Her take on the classic gives it a new flavor that the whole family is sure to love.

Poached eggs

In a large saucepan, bring at least 4 inches of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Spray a ladle with cooking spray and pour the egg into the ladle. Carefully lower the ladle into the boiling water, keeping it just above the water level to prevent water from seeping into the ladle. Cook until a light white film forms on the outer edge of the egg, about 1 minute. Then carefully lower the ladle into the water with the egg. Wipe the ladle dry and repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook until all the whites are white. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and pat dry with a paper towel.

If you're cooking a lot of eggs, transfer them to a bowl of ice water after boiling, and when you're ready to serve, plunge them into still-boiling water for a few seconds to reheat.
