Instructions

  1. Fill a large skillet with water to three-quarters full and set over medium heat. Bring to the water to a simmer, add 1 teaspoon vinegar (any kind will do), and a couple pinches of salt.
  2. Crack the eggs directly into the water. Make sure the water remains at a simmer, adjusting the heat as necessary.
  3. Cook for 3 minutes to achieve a perfectly poached egg. Using a slotted spoon, remove each egg from the water and blot on a paper towel to remove excess water before transferring to serving plate.

Notes

  • The salt is added for seasoning, and is optional. If you prefer, season after removing the eggs from the water.
