Poaching is one of the most famous ways to cook eggs. The white is firm, and the yolk is runny. It is best served with avocado toast or crusty bread topped with roasted tomatoes and cheese. But my absolute favorite is eggs benedict. It is just perfection.

Poached eggs can be tricky to make. If you don’t know the proper way to do it, the egg whites can disintegrate, or the yolks won’t be as runny as it is supposed to be.

What You Need to Poach Eggs

• 1 cup of white distilled vinegar
• 1 cup of water
• eggs

How to Poach Eggs

Step 1:

In a large bowl, add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar and 1 cup of water. Mix well.

Step 2:

Crack the eggs into the mixture. You can crack as many eggs as you want. Just make sure that they are not overcrowded. You can lightly swirl the bowl to make sure that the acid from the vinegar is getting the egg white all around. Let it soak for 10 minutes. If you soak them for too long, they will pick up a vinegar flavor, but if you don’t soak them long enough, the whites may still run away. When you see that the outer layer turns opaque white, they are good to go.

Step 3:

Fill a pot with water. It should be about 3 to 4 inches deep. Bring water to a light simmer. It should only have very small bubbles and steam rising from the top.

Step 4:

Gently get the eggs with some of the vinegar solution using a ladle and place it into the water. Poach for 2 to 3 minutes or when the egg whites are set and the yolk is runny.

Step 5:

Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs one at a time from the water, strain the excess, blot them into the towel, and place them on the plate.

Step 6:

Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve and enjoy!
