Instructions

  1. Add the vinegar to a medium-size pot of simmering water in between low and medium heat.
  2. While the water is heating crack the eggs into 3 separate small bowls and set them aside.
  3. Next, using a spoon vigorously stir the simmering water in a circle for about 10 seconds.
  4. Immediately pour 1 egg into the center of the vortex and cook for 2:30 to 3:00 minutes for an over-easy style yolk.
  5. Remove the yolk using a slotted spoon making sure to get off any excess water and season with salt and pepper and serve.

Notes

  • Chef Notes:
  • Make-Ahead: Poached eggs are meant to be eaten immediately after cooking.
  • How to Reheat: Reheat the poached eggs by adding them to hot simmering water until warm. You can also warm in the microwave.
  • How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Poached eggs do not freeze well.
  • White distilled vinegar is the best option to use.
  • You may also use a whisk to create the vortex in the water.
  • Any color egg will work for this recipe.
  • When the water is simmering, there will be bubbles at the bottom of the pan, but they should not be breaking the surface.
