Ingredients

Servings
  • egg large
  • 2 white distilled vinegar about a tablespoon, though I've never measured, 3 glugs
  • wholemeal bread buttered, toasted
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Fill a frying pan with 3.5cm of boiling water from the kettle (energy efficient).
  2. Add the vinegar and bring back to the boil.
  3. Break the egg into a ramekin/small bowl and gently lower the egg into the water tipping out gently, continue with the number of eggs required.
  4. Time the eggs for 3 minutes to have a cooked white and a runny yolk. If you prefer yours firmer just increase the time by a minute.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, place your eggs onto a couple of sheets of kitchen roll to blot away any residual water.
  6. Place on buttered toast and serve with a sprinkle of salt or ketchup if desired.

Notes

  • The vinegar is vitally important to enable the egg to keep its shape and not spread whilst cooking!
