HALIFAX -- How to poach the perfect egg:
- Bring two cups of water to a simmer in a deep-sided skillet.
- Add two teaspoons of vinegar to the water.
- Crack one egg into a small bowl.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon to create a vortex in the water and slip the egg from the bowl into the vortex to prevent strands forming on your poached egg.
- Repeat this process three more times until all four eggs have been placed into the pan.
- Baste your poached egg with the simmering water.
- Once the egg has reached the desired doneness remove with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel to absorb any excess water.
