Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Duck Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White Vinegar
- 1 liter Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 1 liter of water and add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Heat the water over medium heat until it reaches a low simmer. You should see small bubbles forming on the bottom of the pan, but the water should not be boiling.
While waiting for the water to come to a simmer, crack each duck egg into a small ramekin or bowl. This will make it easier to gently slip the eggs into the water.
Once the water is simmering, use a spoon to stir it gently in one direction to create a vortex. This helps the egg white wrap around the yolk more neatly.
Carefully pour one duck egg into the center of the vortex. The spinning water will help the egg white wrap around itself, forming a more uniform shape.
Let the egg poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the white is set and the yolk is still soft to touch.
Using a slotted spoon, gently lift the poached egg out of the water. Allow excess water to drain off, then transfer the egg to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any remaining water.
Repeat the poaching process with the remaining eggs.
Serve the poached duck eggs immediately with your favorite sides, such as avocado toast, fresh greens, or a salad.
