A poached egg is so versatile, and making one should be in every home cook’s skill set. Thinking beyond eggs Benedict, use a poached egg to top braised greens, asparagus, polenta, frisee salad, avocado toast, or a burger hot off the grill. Farm-fresh eggs make the best poached eggs, so take a trip to your local farmer’s market and pick up a dozen or two.
Preparation Method
Bring water and vinegar to a delicate simmer.
Crack egg into a small bowl and gently place in simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Allow to poach for 3 to 4 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
