Description
Here’s a new and improved version of our poached egg method. Nothing too complicated here; we pretty much poach eggs like everybody else, except we’ve got a little step in the middle that makes it easier if you’re doing this for a larger group.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, as fresh as possible
Instructions
- Fill a bowl with ice water.
- Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat; stir in vinegar and salt. Bring to a gentle
- slow simmer and reduce heat to low.
- Break each egg into a separate small ramekin; place a ramekin close to the surface of the water and gently pour egg into the simmering water. Let egg white set for a minute or two and use a silicone spatula to gently lift egg from the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Cook until white is firm and yolk is runny
- about 6 minutes.
- Lift poached egg from water using a slotted spoon and transfer gently to bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Reheat eggs for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in very gently simmering water and remove with a slotted spoon. Tap bottom of slotted spoon containing egg on a dry paper towel to remove any excess water before serving.
