Breakfast Perfect Poached Eggs — the No Fuss Way
🥚 Perfect Poached Eggs — the No-Fuss Way¶
Soft, runny yolks. No swirling. Just creamy, dreamy poached eggs every single time.
What You’ll Need:
- Fresh eggs (as many as you want)
- 150g water
- 150g white vinegar
- Salt
- A ladle
- Pot of water (below 195°F)
- Timer
Steps:
-
🥣 In a bowl, mix 150g water and 150g white vinegar.
-
🥚 Crack your eggs directly into this vinegar-water bath — don’t stir. Let them rest in it for 10 minutes. (This helps tighten the whites and makes them easier to poach.)
-
🔥 While the eggs sit, heat a pot of salted water. Keep it under 195°F — you want steam and gentle ripples, not a full boil.
-
🥄 After 10 minutes, use a ladle to scoop one egg from the vinegar bath, along with a bit of the liquid.
-
🚿 Gently lower the ladle into the hot water and tilt it slowly to slide the egg in.
-
⏱️ Set a timer for 4 minutes. Don’t disturb the egg.
-
🥄 Lift it out with a slotted spoon, drain, and serve.
