Sure, here’s a simple recipe for poached eggs:
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Water
- Vinegar (optional)
- Salt and pepper (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions:
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water, about 2-3 inches deep. If you like, add a splash of vinegar to the water; this can help the egg whites coagulate faster.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. You want the water hot, but not boiling vigorously.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin. This makes it easier to slide the egg into the water.
- Using a spoon, stir the water in a circular motion to create a whirlpool effect. This will help the egg whites wrap around the yolk.
- Gently slide the egg into the center of the swirling water.
- Let the egg cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached egg from the water and place it on a paper towel to drain excess water.
- Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Repeat the process for additional eggs.
You can serve poached eggs on toast, English muffins, or with a side of sautΓ©ed spinach or smoked salmon. Enjoy your poached eggs!
