Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 6 cups water
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Fill a large saucepan with 6 cups of water. Add a pinch of sea salt and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Crack each egg into an individual small bowl or ramekin. This step ensures a smooth transition of the eggs into the water.
Create a gentle vortex in the simmering water by stirring it with a spoon. This will help envelop the egg whites around the yolks for perfectly rounded poached eggs.
Carefully lower one egg at a time into the center of the vortex. Repeat with the remaining eggs, ensuring not to crowd the pan.
Allow the eggs to cook for 3 to 4 minutes for a runny yolk, or 5 to 6 minutes if a firmer yolk is preferred.
Using a slotted spoon, gently lift each poached egg out of the water, allowing any excess water to drain off.
Serve immediately on a bed of greens, roasted sweet potatoes, or enjoy as is for a perfect Paleo breakfast.
