Here is a simple recipe for poached eggs:
Poached Eggs Recipe
Ingredients:
- Fresh eggs
- Water
- White vinegar (optional, helps the eggs hold their shape)
Instructions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- If using, add a splash of white vinegar to the water. This can help the eggs hold their shape better during poaching.
- Crack an egg into a small cup or ramekin.
- Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the water.
- Carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water helps the egg white wrap around the yolk.
- Let the egg cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, or 5 minutes for a firmer yolk.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess water.
- If making multiple eggs, repeat the process for each egg.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Your poached eggs are now ready to be enjoyed. They can be served on their own, on toast, or as a topping for various dishes such as salads, grain bowls, or avocado toast. Enjoy!
