To make poached eggs, here is a simple method you can follow:
-
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
-
Add a splash of vinegar to the water (this helps the egg whites to set quickly).
-
Crack a fresh egg into a small bowl or ramekin.
-
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water.
-
Carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool.
-
Let the egg poach for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.
-
Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg from the water and place it on a paper towel to drain excess water.
-
Season with salt and pepper before serving.
Enjoy your delicious homemade poached eggs!
