For the perfect poached egg so let's Dive In I recommend a pot with at least 3 to 4 in of water if you use a shallow spot a pan with only an inch or two you'll end up with a flutter poached egg that may have more of a fried egg shape pot of water on high and bring it to a boil waiting for water to boil we'll get our eggs ready now the number one most important factor when it comes to a perfectly poached egg is having the freshest eggs possible and ideally that means that you purchased them just that morning fresh eggs are going to have tighter waist and keep more of that spiracle shape that we're going for eggs fridge for a week or more like this one are going to have more of that looser liquidy white and that's what causes all of those white with bees but as I know running to the market before breakfast may not be possible for most here's what you can do to ensure poached egg success and you should do this no matter how old your eggs are just crack your eggs into a fine mesh sieve give it a little girl and remove that liquid egg white and as you can see on this egg which I just purchased this morning there's a lot less of that loose or egg whites and in the previous example. Once all of the very loose egg white has been screened out transfer your egg to a small bowl or Ramekin is this will make it much easier to pour the egg into a pot of water and repeat this process for as many eggs as you plan to cook.
Now just like we do when we're making soft and hard boiled eggs if you plan to make these poached eggs for meal prep or ahead of time get an ice water bath ready as this will stop the Poached Eggs from cooking water should be boiling this and that reduce the heat to low you just want some slight bubbles on the bottom if any but no bubbles breaking the surface call spada add salt to the water when you poach eggs but I found that this actually created more weight with beads and splayed the egg white all out then the reason this happened is because salt change the density of the water so definitely don't add salt to the water but just so you can see what happens with your own eyes here's an attempted coach the egg and salt water and you can see that it doesn't hold its shape very well
Custom vinegar it's true that vinegar says helps coagulate and chickpea egg white all together now I was against this method at first cuz I didn't want my eggs to taste like vinegar but if you use 1/2 tbsp is definitely can't taste it at all and for the type of vinegar you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar or any type of lighter colored vinegar and some eggs add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water and stir it and create a Vortex then yes the vortex definitely works and I recommended if you're making just one or two eggs nice fast Vortex drop your eggs right into the middle and look at that lovely poached egg shape.
Set your timer for 3 minutes for a firm white and liquid yolk if you'd like your dad another 30 seconds here's a spotted spoon to remove your beautiful poached egg you can also give your egg a gentle tap to see how cook threw it is and place it back in the water if you'd like it a little bit firmer if it's to your liking it just have the poached egg on a paper towels remove any excess water and serve it up if you're making these for meal prep work to make an advance for a crowd as a poached eggs your ice water bath which will ensure the egg yolk stop cooking and I'll show you in a second how you warm it back up later who makes the Rolex simultaneously with House of or text message you can do that as well the shape maybe a little flattered but it's really not a big deal which of your eggs into the water and on his last day you can see that there was a little more liquidy white but that the main egg-shaped still held together you can also use a spoon to move the water and help create a round or egg shaped cookie flights 3 minutes is up again that use a slotted spoon to remove your poached egg
If you have any leftover wait with me still attached you can use kitchen scissors to snip there's off and this is actually what restaurants will often times do for that perfect poached egg shape will actually trim it into shape now I think that's a little silly and I'm all for a more natural poached egg shaped like this one he's now got this beautifully poached egg so let me show you one of my favorite poached egg breakfast recipes just add a little olive oil to a pan along with two cloves of minced garlic then squeeze a lemon into the pan and add the zest of the lemon as well had a bunch of asparagus and you some tongs to move them around and sautee for about 3 to 5 minutes or until their tender but still hold their shape to a place and top them with a slice of prosciutto tell at this point we don't want to add a cold poached egg for breakfast instead of warm up are poached eggs just add some boiling water to a bowl or large mug then place the poached egg in the hot water for about 20 to 30 seconds or until it's warmed through remove it from the hot water and now it's ready to be popped on our asparagus add a little salt and pepper and if you'd like shave on some fresh authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese alright let's cut into this poached egg and see how we did pretty darn perfect
