How do you get a perfect poached egg?
Mirror, soft, hard… The egg can be cooked in different ways and they all have a different flavor. This is the particularity of this product, its texture varies depending on its cooking.

To succeed, you must respect two or three rules. This is what cooking enthusiast Leo.bergine explains to us in a video posted on his TikTok account.
The first thing to do is to make sure you have fresh eggs, otherwise the result will not be perfect. If they are not fresh enough, this will show when cooking, the yolk will not be coated and the white will be waterlogged. Once you have your ultra-fresh eggs, crack each one into a separate small container. Then equip yourself with a large salad bowl into which you will pour two parts water for one part vinegar. Here, the cook mixed apple cider vinegar and white vinegar, but make do with what you have on hand. This step will create a cocoon around the yolk. Then, very delicately place your eggs there and let sit for 30 minutes. Once the time has elapsed, heat a pan of water and when the water is barely simmering, place your eggs which have soaked in the water and vinegar mixture. Let it cook for 2 minutes 30 and voilà, you have a perfect poached egg!

As for the most delicious part of this dish, the poached egg, you can also make that in advance. Once you have cooked your eggs, you can store them in a iced glass of water. Of course, you can’t leave them for too long, it’s a very temporary solution that will save you from spending your brunch behind the stove.
