How to poach an egg
Keyword
Culinary 2, Eggs
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce to low.
Crack the egg in a fine mesh sieve (over a small bowl) and remove the liquidy whites.
Transfer the egg to a small ramekin or bowl.
Add one tablespoon of neutral vinegar to the pot. If only cooking one egg at a time, stir to create a vortex.
Carefully pour the egg into the middle of the water, stir water gently to create a slight current, and set a timer for 3 minutes.
Once the egg is done, use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg.
Dab with a paper towel to remove excess water and eat immediately.
