Perfectly Poached Egg


Ingredients:

1 egg
4 cups water
1 tbsp vinegar
salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Heat the 4 cups of water in a pot. Add the tbsp of vinegar, which helps keep the egg together in the water. You want to heat the water until it is right before boiling. You don't want the water to be boiling, but just after simmering. If your water is boiling, then turn down the heat a bit.

2. Break the egg in a small bowl. Once the water is ready, with a spatula, create a whirlpool with the water. Slide the egg into the middle of the whirlpool. Make sure the egg does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

3. Let the egg sit for 2-3 minutes and then take it out of the water with a slotted spoon. Let the egg rest on a paper towel before transferring it to a plate.

4. Top with a bit of salt and pepper before breaking the egg. Enjoy!
