Ingredients

  • teaspoon champagne vinegar 
  •  eggs fresh
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels
  • sauce pan
  • ramekin
  • slotted spoon
  • baking spatula

Directions

  1. Fill a bowl with ice water.
  2. Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat; stir in vinegar and salt. Bring to a gentle, slow simmer and reduce heat to low.
  3. Break each egg into a separate small ramekin; place a ramekin close to the surface of the water and gently pour egg into the simmering water.
  4. Let egg white set for a minute or two and use a silicone spatula to gently lift egg from the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Cook until white is firm and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes.
  5. Lift poached egg from water using a slotted spoon and transfer gently to bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Reheat eggs for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in very gently simmering water and remove with a slotted spoon. Tap bottom of slotted spoon containing egg on a dry paper towel to remove any excess water before serving.
