Ingredients (4)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cups water
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp white wine
INSTRUCTIONS
1
Add about 1 tbsp of vinegar and 1 tbsp of white wine to a pot containing 4 cups of water. Vinegar helps the whites to coagulate quickly, resulting in a beautifully shaped poached egg.
2
Turn the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil.
3
Crack one egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to form a vortex and gently place your egg in. Cook for about 2 minutes.
4
Prepare a bowl of warm water. Scoop the egg out using a slotted spoon and transfer it into the bowl. Repeat to poach more eggs.
5
When serving, scoop the egg out, pat dry, and place on whatever you want.
