Add a splash of vinegar to the water you're poaching in and make sure the water is already spinning before you drop the egg in. You'll be good to go.

I did all that. My issue was I took away too much egg whites and the water was probably too hot. They essentially were 60% cooked yellow balls.
Lol oops
I put them into boiling water and no issue. Egg quality makes a huge difference also.
Water should be hot. Almost boiling… a few drops of vinegar, make the water spin (with a spoon), drop the egg, leave it there for 3 to 3.5 minutes, keep the water temperature up (but not boiling), and that should do the job ☀️
I brought the water to boil, turned the burner off, then put the eggs in for 3 minutes. Definitely too hot. Thanks.
