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. The vinegar helps to firm up the egg whites for poaching.
Place the saucepan on medium-high heat and bring the water to a gentle simmer without boiling. Look for small bubbles forming at the bottom of the pan.
Meanwhile, crack each duck egg into a separate shallow bowl or ramekin. This helps make it easier to slide the egg into the water later.
Once the water has reached a gentle simmer, use a spoon to swirl the water gently in a circular motion to create a whirlpool effect in the center of the pot.
Carefully lower the first duck egg from the bowl or ramekin into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help keep the egg white close to the yolk.
Cook the egg for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk or about 4 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to gently lift the egg out of the water and touch the yolk to test its doneness.
Transfer the poached egg to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess water.
Repeat the process with the remaining duck eggs, ensuring the water maintains a gentle simmer and a swirling motion is created before adding each egg.
Serve the poached duck eggs immediately, either on top of toasted bread, alongside a fresh salad, or however you desire.
