Ingredients
- 4 large Duck eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 liter Water
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 1 liter of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. The water should be steaming and small bubbles should be forming on the bottom of the pan but not boiling.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt to the simmering water. This will help the egg whites to set properly without spreading too much.
Step 3
Crack each duck egg into a small bowl or cup. Ensure the yolks remain intact.
Step 4
Create a gentle whirlpool in the saucepan by stirring the water with a spoon. This swirling motion helps wrap the egg whites around the yolk, resulting in a neater shape.
Step 5
Gently slide one duck egg into the center of the whirlpool. Let it poach for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached egg from the water. Give it a gentle shake to remove any excess water and place it on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 7
Repeat the poaching process with the remaining eggs, creating a fresh whirlpool for each egg.
Step 8
Serve the poached duck eggs immediately, seasoned with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and a tablespoon of fresh, chopped chives on top as a garnish.
