Poached Eggs



Directions
Bring water in a saucepan to almost boiling. If the water is already boiling, lower the heat until it is no longer boiling. Add 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar to the water. Vinegar allows the egg whiles to congeal more easily. Crack open and gently drop the eggs into the water, one by one. With a spoon, nudge the egg whites closer to their yolks. This will help the egg whites hold together.

Turn off the heat. Cover. Let sit for 3-4 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked.

Lift eggs out of pan with a slotted spoon.

Another trick to make the eggs stay somewhat contained is to take a ring from a mason jar and place it in the pan. Drop the egg over the Mason jar ring and let it settle in the ring, then turn off the heat and cover.
