Tasted great, by the way.

Egg is under cooked. Over hard or gtfo

Looks good, I'm curious, what suggestions did your mother give you?

Just stuff that maybe everyone already knows haha. I'm a complete cooking novice.

So she said no vinegar or anything, you don't need it. Apparently a lot of people make the mistake of putting their eggs into boiling water, when what she does is bring the water to boil, then totally turn down the heat to gently lower your egg in. Once that white has set, and you won't have to worry about bubbles breaking your shit apart, you can bring that simmer up a little bit. about 2 1/2 or 3 minutes later, you should have a beautiful poached egg.

I guess the last word is also obvious, fresh eggs poach better. The newer the egg, the more likely that the white is going to hold into that 'ball' shape, rather than disperse and flake off so that your water is full of egg white debris.

I'm certain this isn't what you actually think.

Pretty good advice. My mom also added a little swirl to the water in the pan before you drop in your egg. That's when cooking for yourself, of course.
I would use a touch of vinegar if doing a big pan of them for multiple people.

Next tip you should learn is blender hollandaise. I heat my butter in the microwave in a pyrex while I do my poached eggs, which I serve over fresh baby spinach on my muffin, prefer that over ham which I keep as a side.
Drizzle that butter into the blender with your eggs, lemon. Heavenly.
