Start by poaching the eggs in a saucepan with water and vinegar.

Add two or three capfuls of white distilled vinegar to the water.

Bring the water to a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil.

Crack the eggs into small bowls before sliding them into the simmering water.

Create a whirlpool in the water before adding the eggs to help them keep their shape.

Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set.

Scoop the poached eggs out gently with a slotted spoon and place them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
