Number Of Ingredients 1

4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Fill a medium bowl with iced water; set aside. Fill a large wide saucepan with about 4 inches of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, so water is barely simmering. Break 1 egg at a time into a small heatproof bowl. Gently tip bowl into water, letting egg slide into the water. Using a spoon, cover yolk with some of the egg white; repeat with remaining 3 eggs. When eggs begin to become opaque, carefully transfer eggs using a slotted spoon to iced water to stop cooking. Trim edges with a small knife or scissors to create a uniform shape.

I love how customizable this recipe is. You can add different herbs, spices, or vegetables to the water to create different flavor combinations.

I love the tip about using a slotted spoon to gently lift the eggs out of the water. It really helps to prevent them from breaking.

I was skeptical about the vinegar, but it really does help the eggs hold their shape. I'll definitely be using this trick in the future.

I've tried poaching eggs before, but they always turned out too runny or too hard. This recipe was a game-changer! The eggs were perfectly cooked and had a beautiful, glossy yolk.
