How to Poach an Egg

Ingredients

• Fresh Organic Eggs

• Pot of water

• Dash of vinegar

Before you start here are some important tips that will set you up to succeed

• Make sure your eggs are really fresh

• Have the water at a steady simmer before you add the eggs

• Have the eggs at room temperature, this stops the water temperature dropping too much

• Crack your egg into a ramekin or cup instead of cracking straight into the water

• Create a gentle whirlpool in the water to help the egg white wrap around the yolk

• Slowly tip the egg into the water

• Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs out once cooked

Method

• Bring the water with the vinegar added to a steady simmer

• Gently swirl the water

• Add the eggs one at a time

• They will take approximately 2 minutes to cook from room temperature

• Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper to remove excess water
