Servings: 1 egg
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1-2 tbsp vinegar optional
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
-
While waiting for the water to boil, crack an egg into a small fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Swirl the egg in the sieve until all the liquidy egg whites have been removed. Then, place the egg in a ramekin.
-
Stir the vinegar into the water and create a vortex. Add the egg to the middle of the vortex and cook the egg for 3 minutes.
-
Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and dab it on a paper towel to remove any excess water. Serve immediately.
-
Alternatively, if making the poached eggs for meal prep or ahead of time, transfer the cooked poached eggs to an ice water bath and refrigerate for a couple of days. When ready to serve, add boiling water to a bowl, then add the cold poached egg and submerge for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon, dab dry and serve immediately.
