Equipment

  • Small saucepan with lid

Ingredients

  • Water in small saucepan 1½ inches deep
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 slice of buttered toast

Instructions

  • Combine 1½ inches of water and vinegar in a wide, small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Break 1 egg into a small bowl. Once the water is at a simmer, stir the water with the bottom of your slotted spoon clockwise to make a swirling motion in the water. Quickly and carefully slide the egg into the water.
  • Cover and turn the stove off. Poach until whites are firm and yolks are still runny, 3 minutes and 45 seconds.
  • Remove the egg using a slotted spoon and drain a bit over the pan.
  • Place onto a piece of buttered toast, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
