Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Fill a medium saucepan with 6 cups of cold water and add 3 tablespoons of white vinegar. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a slow simmer, where small bubbles rise to the surface but the water is not boiling vigorously.
-
Step 2.
Crack one large egg into a small bowl or ramekin, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg, adding it to the pot. Cook the eggs for 3 minutes, or until the whites are set and firm to your liking, while the yolks remain runny.
-
Step 3.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift each poached egg out of the water, allowing excess water to drain. Transfer the eggs to a plate or small bowl. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
