Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large duck eggs
- 8 cups water
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 8 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 0.25 teaspoons of sea salt. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Crack each duck egg into a small bowl or ramekin, ensuring the yolks remain intact. This will help you gently slide the eggs into the water.
Once the water reaches a simmer (small bubbles rising, but not boiling), stir the water gently in one direction to create a light whirlpool.
Carefully slide each cracked duck egg into the center of the whirlpool one at a time. This technique helps the egg whites wrap around the yolk, forming a neat poached egg.
Let the duck eggs cook in the simmering water for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove each poached egg from the water, allowing any excess water to drain off.
Transfer the poached duck eggs to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any residual water, then serve immediately.
Enjoy your Paleo Perfect Poached Duck Eggs as they are or serve over a bed of sautéed greens or alongside paleo-friendly bread.
