Course Breakfast

Ingredients

  • Fresh eggs as many as you'd like and the fresher the better
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Half fill your saucepan with boiling water and add 1 tsp of rice wine vinegar per 1.5 litre of water.
  • Heat your water so that it's bubbling at a consistent rate, but not boiling angrily.
  •  Crack your egg into a bowl and stir the water in your saucepan so that it's gently spinning. Then slowly pour your egg into the water from your bowl.
  • Use a slotted spoon to check on it occasionally and when the egg white looks cooked, remove it from the saucepan. This should take around 1-2 minutes, but checking the egg white is usually the best way to ensure you don't over do it.
  • When it's cooked, remove the egg from the saucepan and allow it to drain on a piece of kitchen roll.
  • Add a little salt and pepper and enjoy!
