Line a cup or mug with clingfilm leaving an excess around the tp.
Crack the egg into the mug, then gather the excess clingfilm and tie it into a knot to make an egg parcel.
Place the parcel into a pan of boiling water for 4-6 minutes, depending on how set you like your eggs.
Remove from the pan, cut the top off the clingfilm and you have the perfect poached egg.
