Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Duck eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 liter Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by filling a medium saucepan with 1 liter of water and heat it on the stove over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Small bubbles should just begin to rise from the bottom of the pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and a pinch of salt to the simmering water. The vinegar helps the egg whites to coagulate.
Crack each duck egg into a small bowl or cup. This step makes it easier to slide the egg gently into the simmering water and helps prevent the yolk from breaking.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon. This motion will help the egg white wrap around the yolk, ensuring a compact poached egg.
Carefully slide one egg from its bowl into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolk. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg once cooked to preference.
Transfer the poached egg onto a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess water.
Repeat the poaching process with the remaining duck eggs, cooking one at a time.
Once all eggs are poached, season them with a pinch of black pepper.
Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley and sprinkle over the poached eggs for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately, ideally on a piece of whole grain toast or alongside a fresh salad for a delightful brunch.
