Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
Step 2
Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. You should see small bubbles forming on the bottom of the pan, but the surface of the water should not be boiling.
Step 3
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolk remains intact.
Step 4
Using a spoon, stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool effect.
Step 5
Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. The circular motion of the water will help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
Step 6
Allow the egg to poach for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the white is completely set and the yolk is done to your desired level of firmness.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached egg from the saucepan, allowing any excess water to drain off.
Step 8
Gently place the poached egg on a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to absorb any extra water.
Step 9
Repeat the poaching process with the remaining eggs, adjusting the water temperature as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
Step 10
Serve the poached eggs immediately on your choice of wholegrain toast, a bed of spinach, or any other desired accompaniment.
