Perfect Poached Eggs

1. 1

   Bring a small pan or pot with water up to barely a simmer. You want tiny bubbles on the bottom of the pan (do not bring to a boil!). Add in the vinegar.

2. 2

   Crack an egg into a small dish. With a spatula, make a circular motion in the water to mimic a whirlpool and carefully slide the egg into the center.

3. 3

   From the moment you slide the egg into the water, set a timer for 4 minutes. This is the magical time needed to make a perfect poached egg.

4. 4

   After the timer beeps, use a slotted spoon to remove the egg. Let it hover over the pan so the hot water can slip through the cracks of the spoon and off the egg.

5. 5

   Sprinkle with salt, pepper and fresh thyme alongside buttered toast.

6. 6

   Enjoy!
