Poached egg cups are often lubricated with butter in order to effect easy removal of the cooked egg, although non-stick egg poachers are also available. The result is very similar to the traditional coddled egg, although these steamed eggs are often cooked for longer, and hence are firmer. Eggs so prepared are often served on buttered toast. Poached eggs are used in the traditional American breakfast/brunch dish Eggs Benedict.
