Poached Egg

Submitted by jon on Wed, 07/21/2010 - 00:44

1 egg
1 teaspoon vinegar
salt and pepper

Directions:

In a small saucepan boil water with salt and teaspoon of vinegar. When water is boiling reduce heat and stir water in a circular motion until a whirlpool is formed. Add egg in a small container or measuring cup and slowly pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The whirlpool holds the egg white and yolk together while the vinegar helps the whites to congeal quicker.

Serve on toast or English muffin and add salt and pepper to taste.
