Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a medium-sized pot.
  • Add in 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
  • Crack egg into a small ramekin.
  • Using a spoon, stir the water in a circular motion until you reach a whirlpool or tornado effect.
  • Slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Use a spatula to help set if needed. Gently cook the egg for 3-6 minutes depending on how runny you like it.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water and plate it on a plate. Repeat with additional eggs.
