What You Need

• A shallow pot
• About 3 inches of simmering water
• About 2 tablespoons of white vinegar
• A slotted spoon
• A cup

How to Make

1. Fill your pot with about 3 inches of water
2. Add your vinegar and bring to a simmer (not a full boil)
3. Crack your eggs into a cup or another container so you don’t break the yolks in the water
4. Carefully pour your eggs into the simmering water and poach about 2-3 minutes
5. Carefully remove from the water with your spoon and place on a paper towel to drain off water
6. Salt, pepper and serve! Quick Tip: If you want to make multiple eggs, you can hold these in an ice bath and reheat all together in simmering water for a minute before serving!
7. Enjoy!
