Ingredients
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
Fill a saucepan with approximately 15-20 cm of water then add the salt. Place a plate upside down in the bottom of the pan then place the pan over a medium heat and bring the water up to 80ºC.
One at a time, crack each egg into a ramekin dish and pour it into a slotted spoon with small holes. Allow to drain any residual white for approximately 1–2 minutes.
Lower the slotted spoon into the warm water and slide the spoon out. Allow to poach for 4 minutes.
Remove with the slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain the excess water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
