Ingredients

• 1 piece large egg
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 slice bread slice
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium-sized saucepan with about 3 inches of water and add the vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Crack the egg into a small cup or saucer. This allows you to gently slide the egg into the water, keeping it intact.

Step 3

Once the water reaches a simmer, create a gentle whirlpool by stirring the water with a spoon. This helps the egg white wrap around the yolk.

Step 4

Carefully slide the egg from the cup into the center of the whirlpool. Let it poach in the barely simmering water for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still slightly runny.

Step 5

While the egg is poaching, toast the bread slice in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

Once the toast is done, remove it from the toaster and spread the butter evenly over the top.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached egg from the water and dab the bottom of the spoon on a towel to remove excess water.

Step 8

Place the poached egg on top of the buttered toast. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the egg is warm and the yolk is still soft and slightly runny.
