Ingredients

  • water 1 1/2-inch in the bottom of a pot or a deep skillet
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 8 eggs

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 tablespoons of vinegar into the poaching water.

  2. Crack open eggs one at a time, into a small bowl.

  3. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the temperature. When the water reaches a gentle simmer, pour the egg into a ladle. Gently transfer eggs into the simmering water.

  4. The egg whites will coagulate instantly & the vinegar will change the pH level of the poaching water.

  5. Poach the eggs for 3 minutes spooning the simmering water over the eggs.

  6. When the whites become opaque and feel firm to the touch they are done.

  7. Gently remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and lay them on sheets of paper towel to dry.

  8. Serve immediately.
