Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with 500 ml of water.
- Add 15 ml of white vinegar and 1 pinch of salt to the water.
- Heat the water on medium until it reaches a gentle simmer with small bubbles, not a rolling boil.
- Crack 1 fresh large egg into a small bowl or cup, keeping the yolk intact.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring with a spoon.
- Carefully slide the egg from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool.
- Let the egg cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny.
- Use a slotted spoon to gently lift the poached egg from the water.
- Place the egg on a paper towel to drain excess water before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh eggs for best shape and texture.
- Add vinegar to help the egg whites coagulate faster.
- Avoid boiling water to prevent egg from breaking apart.
- Cook eggs one at a time for better control.
