Method
Easy to master and quick to prepare, poached eggs are great on toast and essential for that brunch classic Eggs Benedict. Follow these easy steps to become a poached egg pro.
Fill a large shallow frying pan with water 3 - 4 cm deep and heat to a rolling boil. Add vinegar. Break an egg into a small cup and reduce to a low heat.
Gently pour the egg into the water and repeat with additional eggs. Cook gently for 3 - 5 minutes, until cooked to your liking, or when the yolk is set and the white is firm.
Lift the eggs out using a slotted spoon or fish slice and drain.
TIP: You can pat the spoon on top of a paper towel or tea towel to help this process.
Place eggs on hot toast or muffin and serve immediately.
