Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
-
Toast Bread: Begin by toasting medium-dark bread slices until they reach the desired level of crispiness. Set aside.
-
Prepare Water and Vinegar: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the water and white vinegar over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
-
Poach Eggs: Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Once the water is simmering, use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the water. Gently slide the cracked eggs into the center of the whirlpool one at a time. This method helps the eggs to hold their shape.
-
Simmer and Baste: Allow the eggs to simmer in the water for about 3-4 minutes. During this time, occasionally use a spoon to gently baste the eggs with the hot water. This helps to cook the egg whites evenly while keeping the yolks soft and runny.
-
Remove and Drain: Once the egg whites are opaque and set but the yolks are still soft and runny, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon. Allow any excess water to drain off.
-
Assemble: Place the poached eggs on top of the toasted bread slices.
-
Season and Serve: Sprinkle the poached eggs with freshly ground pepper according to taste preferences. Dot each egg with a small amount of butter for added richness. Serve immediately while still hot and enjoy the indulgent simplicity of E-Z Poached Eggs for 2!
