Ingredients
- 1 large Egg As fresh as possible
- 4 quarts Water
Instructions
-
Heat water to a boil. Season and reduce heat to a simmer. You want just a few tiny bubbles left on the bottom as bubbles will mess with the egg you are poaching.

Crack your fresh egg into a ramekin and season. This is your chance to season the yolk well. Swirl the simmering water.
-
Swirling water is ready to add the egg
-
Gently add the egg to the swirling water; whites first, then yolk last.
-
Do not stir again. The whites will swirl around the yolk.
-
Cook the egg for 3 minutes.
-
Remove with slotted spoon to paper towel.
-
Season egg with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add on top of a potato hash or as part of an eggs Benedict.
