Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by filling a medium-sized saucepan with 3 to 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. You want small bubbles occasionally rising to the surface, but not a full boil.
Step 2
2. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt to the simmering water. The vinegar helps the egg whites firm up quickly.
Step 3
3. Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin. This allows for easy control when you add the egg to the water.
Step 4
4. Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the water. This helps the egg white wrap around the yolk, making a neater poached egg.
Step 5
5. Carefully lower the egg from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool. Let it poach undisturbed for about 3 to 4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
Step 6
6. Once cooked to your liking, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached egg from the water, and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess water.
Step 7
7. Repeat the process with the remaining eggs, ensuring the water remains at a gentle simmer.
Step 8
8. Serve the poached eggs immediately on their own, or atop a keto-friendly salad or avocado toast for a satisfying meal.
