When eggs are a part of every morning, the whole crack-and-scramble routine starts to feel, um, eggceptionally boring. Meanwhile, the perfect poach starts to seem too elusive, too confusing and altogether too much work.

It's time to get your egg hack on. These brilliant tricks make perfect poached eggs, delicious one-minute egg bakes, and omelets with waffle-iron cracks so deep, they could absorb just about any amount of Sriracha. Prepare yourself for an eggcellent morning.

1. Use a poaching bag for the easiest poach of your life.
The bags are cheap , disposable and the best thing since poached eggs themselves. Just simmer your egg in a bag, and it's good to go.

2. Fry your eggs in onion rings.
Chances are you already have an onion on hand, and these perfectly circular fried eggs come out sandwich-ready.
