Eggs pack a ton of essential nutrients, including protein, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin E, iron, B vitamins, folate, calcium and more. Today I want to talk about poached eggs, because cooking a perfect poached egg can be a challenging task. Failed attempts can lead to mis-shaped or over-cooked eggs. For a perfectly poached egg start by filling a wide saucepan with water to about 2 inches deep. Bring to a gently simmer (a rolling boil will toughen and twist the whites). Adding a few teaspoons of vinegar will help the egg keep its shape. Crack the egg into a small custard cup or ramekin before dropping into the pan. This will help the egg keep its shape and ensure that the yolk stays intact. Cook for 3 minutes and remove carefully with a slotted spoon. Drain water or blot with a paper towel..and there you have a perfectly poached egg!
