Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

water
2 tsp salt (optional)
1 Tbsp white vinegar
4 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Put 1 1/2 inches of water in a deep large skillet and bring to a boil.
  • 2. Add vinegar to water and salt if using. The salt makes them firmer and less shiny. The vinegar helps hold them together.
  • 3. One at a time, break eggs into a saucer and slip into barely simmering water, keeping eggs as separated as possible.
  • 4. Cover skillet until egg whites coat over yolks.
  • 5. Remove cover. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until whites are firm but the yolks are still soft when touched with the back of spoon.
  • 6. With a slotted spoon or pancake turner, lift each egg from the water and rest on a folded paper towel to absorb excess water.
  • 7. Trim away the loose thin whites and place of serving plate or recipe calling for poached egg.
