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.
