Method
Prepare the Water
- 1
Boil Water
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. You want small bubbles rising to the surface, not a rolling boil.
- 2
Add Vinegar and Salt
Once the water is simmering, stir in 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. This helps to keep the egg whites together.
Poach the Eggs
- 3
Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, being cautious not to break the yolk.
- 4
Create a Whirlpool
Using a spoon, gently stir the simmering water to create a whirlpool effect. This helps the egg white wrap around the yolk.
- 5
Add the Eggs
Slowly and gently slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool one at a time. Allow them to cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft poach.
- 6
Check for Doneness
The eggs are done when the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to lift them out of the water.
