Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup white vinegar
4 large eggs
1 slice bread
Toast, for serving (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • If making ahead, prepare an ice-water bath fitted with a sieve; set aside.
  • Fill a large straight-sided skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add vinegar and return to a boil. Break one egg into a small heatproof bowl. Placing lip of bowl in the water, gently tip the bowl to slide egg carefully into pan. Use a large slotted spoon to fold the edges of the white over the egg, for a neater edge. Repeat with remaining eggs.
  • Cook until whites are just set but the yolks are still soft, they should still move around inside, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Lift out eggs with a slotted spoon or small mesh sieve and briefly rest on bread to allow eggs to drain. Trim edges with a knife for a prettier presentation before serving on toast, if desired, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • To make ahead, immediately place eggs in an ice-water bath to stop the cooking, then transfer to a bowl of cool water (it should just reach the tops of the eggs). If storing longer than an hour, place bowl in refrigerator (covered) for up to 24 hours. Reheat by briefly placing eggs in a pan of barely simmering water, just until warmed through. Serve on toast, if desired, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Poached eggs are the best! I love them with hollandaise sauce.

I'm allergic to eggs. Is there a substitute I can use to make poached eggs?

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but my poached eggs always seem to come out watery. Any tips?

I'm going to try making poached eggs for dinner tonight. I think they would be great over roasted vegetables.

I've tried poaching eggs in the past, but they always turned out overcooked. This recipe was the first time I got it right.

I love how versatile poached eggs are. You can serve them on toast, salad, or even soup. They're a great way to add protein to your meal.

I've never been able to poach an egg before, but this recipe made it so easy. I'm definitely going to be making this again.

These poached eggs came out perfectly! The whites were firm and the yolks were still runny. I served them on top of avocado toast and it was a delicious and healthy breakfast.
