I love poached eggs, always have, but when I make them, they look like a sloppy mess as the egg whites go everywhere in the water.
I have tried all kinds of ways, some people like to have the water moving and others not. But I am here to say that I finally found what works for me and they actually look restaurant worthy!!
Step 1: Use a non stick pot (the best advice)
Step 2: Fill with a couple of inches of water and add a tiny slosh of white vinegar (helps hold things together)
Step 3: Heat the water without boiling it. (that might be the trickiest part getting to know the stove) You don't want any movement in the water.
Step 4: Gently crack the eggs and just at the surface let them quietly slip into the water. Don't drop them from a distance or they will go everywhere!
Step 5: Let them stay settled in the bottom of the pot for at least 3 minutes (or more depending on the hardness of yolk you like)
Step 6: With a non stick slotted spoon gently scoop up the egg and drain on the spoon.
That is it!!!
I was seriously amazed at how well this worked, and how much of the egg I actually got to see!
You can also invest in egg poachers if you prefer or don't have a non stick pot.
