Perfectly Poached Eggs

Posted 2014-03-24 by Antoinette Tanfollow
A perfectly poached egg makes for a perfect all-day breakfast, whether atop toast, ham, smoked salmon, mushroom, asparagus or even soup or pasta. Here's how to cook them eggs-actly the way you'd like them to turn out every time - perfectly poached.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 1 serving

Ingredients
fresh egg(s)
water
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Method
  • Note: Only poach 1 egg at a time.


  • Fill 2/3 of your pan with water, add the white vinegar and bring to a boil. (The vinegar helps to coagulate the egg white.)

  • Crack the egg into a small bowl or dish.
  • Create a whirlpool in the boiling water. (This helps to keep the egg together in one piece.)

  • In one swift motion, pour the egg into the centre of the whirlpool. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes (depending if you prefer runny or firmer yolks), until the egg white is opaque. Gently swirl the water to keep the egg in shape.

  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg from the water. Rinse with water to remove traces of vinegar and drain on a paper towel or dry cloth. Transfer to a plate or serve immediately on toast.

  • If poaching more than 1 egg, use slotted spoon to remove the foam from the water. Repeat the steps.
