Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Duck eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 liter Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Fill a large saucepan with 1 liter of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Once the water is simmering (not boiling), add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. This helps the egg whites coagulate faster and avoid feathering.
Crack one duck egg into a small ramekin or bowl. This helps you gently slide the egg into the water without breaking the yolk.
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring in a circular motion. This will help the egg white wrap around the yolk, creating a neat poached egg.
Gently slide the duck egg from the ramekin into the center of the whirlpool. Let the egg poach undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes, or until the white is set, and the yolk remains soft. If firmer yolks are desired, poach for an additional minute.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached egg from the water, and let it drain for a few seconds on a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the poaching process for the remaining eggs.
Serve the poached duck eggs immediately on toast, salad, or any dish of your choice. Enjoy your high-protein perfect poached duck eggs!
