How to Poach a Perfect Egg?
Poached eggs are a great way to make your meals extra special: have it for breakfast on some avocado toast, top your risottos and stir fried rice.
Yield: 1
Materials
- 1 egg fridge-cold
- 1 tablespoon vinegar white wine, cider or rice
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a large pan. Add a tablespoon of vinegar. Reduce the heat until it's simmering, but not at a rolling boil.
- Crack an egg or two into a glass or a cup, making sure the yolks remain intact.
- Using a spoon, swirl the simmering water to create a whirlpool with one hand and then swiftly drop the eggs from the glass into a centre of your vortex with another hand. Be quick.
- Keep the water simmering, otherwise the eggs might stick to the bottom of the pan.
- After about 3 minutes, or when the white of your egg looks cooked (not translucent), remove it from the pan using a slotted spoon.
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top of your egg and enjoy!
