Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolks remain intact.
Step 4
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring in a circular motion. This will help the egg whites wrap around the yolk for a more uniform shape.
Step 5
Carefully slide one egg at a time into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the second egg, ensuring they have enough space to cook without touching.
Step 6
Allow the eggs to poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the water and drain any excess liquid by gently placing them onto a paper towel.
Step 8
Serve immediately over toast, salad, or any dish of your choice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
