Perfect Poached Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons White Vinegar
- 1 whole Egg
- Kosher Salt To Taste
- Black Pepper To Taste
- A Few Fresh Thyme Leaves (Optional)
- Buttered Toast, To Serve
- Bring a small pan or pot with water up to barely a simmer. You want tiny bubbles on the bottom of the pan (do not bring to a boil!). Add in the vinegar.
- Crack an egg into a small dish. With a spatula, make a circular motion in the water to mimic a whirlpool and carefully slide the egg into the center.
- From the moment you slide the egg into the water, set a timer for 4 minutes. This is the magical time needed to make a perfect poached egg.
- After the timer beeps, use a slotted spoon to remove the egg. Let it hover over the pan so the hot water can slip through the cracks of the spoon and off the egg.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper and fresh thyme alongside buttered toast.
- Enjoy!
