A poached egg can be a delicate and delicious breakfast or lunch option. To poach an egg, begin by adding three cups of a water and a quarter cup of white vinegar to a sauce pan. Place the pan over medium heat and let it come to a low boil or simmer. In the meantime, break one egg into a small dish. When the water is just bubbling in the pot, slide the egg into the water. Allow it to set and do not stir or disturb the water. Turn the heat down to low/medium. Let the egg cook in the simmering water for three minutes (or longer if you’d like a more firm yolk). Pull the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain the water. Poached eggs are often served with toast.
