How to Poach an Egg

Crack your egg into a bowl or saucer to ensure the yolk comes out whole
Add a drop of vinegar to your water
Bring a pot of water filled at least 5cm deep to a gentle simmer. Do not salt the water, as this may cause the egg white to break
Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool to help the egg white wrap around the yolk
Slowly tip the egg into the center of the pot. Make sure the heat is low enough not to throw the egg around – it should be a gentle simme
Let it cook until the white is set – about 3-4 mins
Lift egg out with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Notes

Pro Tip:
If you like garlic in your Turkish-Style eggs, try adding 5 drops of Hedessent Garlic for another flavour boost,
