Poached eggs recipe:

• To prepare perfect poached eggs, start by using fresh eggs as they hold their shape better in hot water
• Crack each egg into a small bowl to make it easier to handle
• If desired, add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water; this helps the egg white coagulate faster
• Heat water in a saucepan and carefully slide the egg into the water
• Poach for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or adjust the time to your liking
• Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out, allowing any excess water to drain
• Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve on toast
