Egg, Whole, Large(50g)
•
Vinegar, White(15g)

Instructions

1Fill a medium pot with water to about 4 inches depth and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
2While the water heats, crack the large egg into a small ramekin or bowl.
3Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer, then add the white vinegar to the pot.
4Stir the simmering water with a spoon in a circular motion to create a vortex, then quickly slide the egg from the ramekin into the center of the vortex.
5Cook for 3–4 minutes over medium-low heat until the egg white is set and opaque but the yolk remains soft when gently pressed with a spoon.
6Gently remove the egg with a slotted spoon and dab the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water.
7Transfer the poached egg to a plate and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
