Ingredients

(So if you have 90 oz of water you should 10 oz of vinegar.)
A 90/10 ratio of
water to vinegar
(So if you have 90 oz of water you should 10 oz of vinegar.)
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- ❗The water should have tiny bubbles in it, but not be boiling.
- While waiting for the water to boil, crack an egg into a small ramekin.
- Stir the vinegar into the water and create a vortex or whirlpool by moving a serving spoon in a circular motion through the water.
- Add the egg to the middle of the vortex and cook the egg for 3 minutes.
- The egg should feel like a plump water ballon.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and dab it on a paper towel to remove any excess water.
- Use scissors or a knife to trim off any extra dangly stuff.
- Serve immediately.✏️
✏️NOTE:
- Alternatively, if making the poached eggs for meal prep or ahead of time, transfer the cooked poached eggs to an ice water bath and refrigerate for a couple of days.
- When ready to serve, add boiling water to a bowl, then add the cold poached egg and submerge for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through.
- Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon, dab dry and serve immediately.

Master the perfect poached egg using the classic whirlpool method! This foolproof technique creates beautifully rounded eggs with firm whites and luxuriously runny yolks. The secret? A gentle simmer, a splash of vinegar, and a carefully created vortex. Make them fresh for breakfast or meal prep ahead—they'll reheat beautifully in just seconds. Elevate your brunch game with these restaurant-quality poached eggs atop toast, salads, or as the crown jewel of eggs Benedict. - Claude

💬 Uncle Dave says...
I find that putting your shelled eggs in hot tap water for a while prior to poaching sets them a little better. Your mileage may vary on this.
