How to Perfectly Poach Eggs

Step 1: Water
Pour enough water into a large wide saucepan to reach a depth of 2 1/2 inches. Bring the water to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium so that the water simmers gently. Add about 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar.

Step 2: Ramekins
Crack each egg into separate ramekins.

Step 3: Swirl
Swirl the water in the saucepan with a spoon, then gently slide 1 egg at a time into the simmering water. Do not allow the water to boil vigorously or the eggs will become tough.

Step 4: 3 Minutes
Carefully loosen any eggs that are stuck to the bottom of pan and cook just until the egg whites are set, about 3 minutes.

Step 5: Slotted Spoon
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the eggs one at a time from the water and drain each egg on a piece of crusty bread.

Step 6: Enjoy
Set the poached eggs on buttered toast with smoked salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
