Poached Eggs

Ingredients

Directions

  • Break each egg into a small bowl. Fill a large, straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil. Add vinegar. Reduce to a gentle simmer: the water should be steaming and small bubbles should come up from the bottom of the pan.

  • Submerging the lip of each bowl into the simmering water, gently add the eggs, one at a time.

  • Cook for 4 minutes for soft set, 5 minutes for medium set and 8 minutes for hard set. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a clean dish towel to drain for a minute.

Tips

The poaching pot is much easier to clean if it's still warm from cooking.

Tips

Food Safety Note: If salmonella is a concern in your area, be sure to cook your eggs until hard set.
