Instructions for Poached Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Water

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water.

  2. 2

    Crack the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk.

  3. 3

    Create a Whirlpool

    Stir the simmering water gently to create a whirlpool effect.

  4. 4

    Poach the Eggs

    Gently slide each egg from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.

  5. 5

    Remove and Drain

    Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and drain on a paper towel.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season the poached eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately on toast, salad, or as desired.
