Ingredients
water
1
Tbsp.
vinegar
any kind
1
tsp.
salt
eggs
between 1 and 4 at a time
Instructions
Depending on what saucepan you use to poach your eggs, fill it half full with water.
To your water, add the vinegar and salt. Cover and bring to a boil.
While the water comes to a boil, crack each egg into a little bowl and set aside.
Once the water is boiling, lower the temperature to a mild boil. You don't want the water rapidly boiling when you drop the eggs in.
Gently drop each egg into the water. Turn the burner completely OFF, and cover your pan.
Set the timer for 5 minutes, and walk away. NO PEAKING.
When the timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to gently take the eggs out. Top with salt and pepper, and serve!
Optional: I like to drain my eggs on a paper towel to get all the water off, but you don't have to.
