How do you poach an egg

There are many different ways to poach an egg. Everyone seems to have these fancy methods so it all depends on which you find easiest for you. The method I used to poach the eggs for this Poached Egg Sweet Potatoes Breakfast recipe is quite simple.

Crack each egg into a small bowl or saucepan. In a deep pan, bring some water to boil. Add a bit of salt and about 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Once the water starts boiling, pour the egg slowly into the pan. Let it cook/boil for about 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it sit for about 8 minutes. Grab a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs and drain from water. Poached eggs are ready to serve with some salt and pepper, top over toast or whatever you have planned for it.

Why do you put vinegar in the water for poached eggs

Egg whites, which is the protein part of the egg, starts to set or coagulate as soon as it hits the hot water. For this poached egg breakfast recipe, I added vinegar to the water because it’s been said that vinegar helps prevent the egg whites from dispersing when it hits the hot water and allows the whites to set faster.

    I just cut 1/2 a baked potato and one pasture raised egg with blueberries this morning and saw your recipe after I made mine. I wanted to do a small portion since I made blueberry muffins too. I had a small muffin.
