In a small skillet or saucepan boil some water, salt and vinegar.
As soon as it boils take the pan off the heat.
Immediately, and gently, ease an egg or two into the hot water.
Slap a cover on the pan and wait patiently...no peeking!
Time out 3 minutes for runny eggs, 4 minutes for medium firm, and 4 1/2 for a firm yolk. (I like mine runny.)
Here they are...
Fish them out with a slotted spoon. (You may need to separate them if the stick together.)
Let them drain well that way your toast won't get soggy.
Salt and pepper them and enjoy with toast to dunk.
Eggcellent!

ReplyDeleteI have to say, these eggs look good! I will give this a try. I've ordered them in diners, but never have made them. I'll get back to you and let you know how I did.
