Water-bath Poached Eggs

Step 1

Heat a water-bath to a very low bubble. Make sure it's large enough to fit all your eggs. If it's just my wife and me (4eggs), I'll use a 14" diameter, 3in tall stainless skillet.

Step 2

Add a small amount of distilled vinegar. In the above example, 2tsp. This helps the egg whites stay together.

Step 3

While the water is heating, crack and strain the eggs, placing each egg in a small bowl or ramekin once strained. This step is not required but it reduces the floating whisps in the water. I thought it was ridiculous at first but it works. The ramekins help when dropping the eggs in the water at the same time but keeping them separated.

Step 4

Let eggs cook for 4mim and remove to a paper towel lined plate. Serve hot (duh).
