Ingredients

• 4 large Duck eggs
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 liter Water
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by filling a medium saucepan with 1 liter of water and heat it on the stove over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Small bubbles should just begin to rise from the bottom of the pan.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and a pinch of salt to the simmering water. The vinegar helps the egg whites to coagulate.

Step 3

Crack each duck egg into a small bowl or cup. This step makes it easier to slide the egg gently into the simmering water and helps prevent the yolk from breaking.

Step 4

Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon. This motion will help the egg white wrap around the yolk, ensuring a compact poached egg.

Step 5

Carefully slide one egg from its bowl into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolk. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg once cooked to preference.

Step 6

Transfer the poached egg onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess water.

Step 7

Repeat the poaching process with the remaining duck eggs, cooking one at a time.

Step 8

Once all eggs are poached, season them with a pinch of black pepper.

Step 9

Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley and sprinkle over the poached eggs for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately, ideally on a piece of whole grain toast or alongside a fresh salad for a delightful brunch.
