If you decide to treat yourself to a tasty and healthy breakfast in the form of a poached egg, then we have good news for you: to prepare this dish according to the classic recipe, you only need an egg and water.
First, you need to bring the water to a boil.
Then reduce heat to low and create a whirlpool using a whisk or spoon.
With a sharp and confident movement, carefully break the egg into the center of the resulting funnel in the water.
The egg will continue to rotate with the whirlpool, and its white will swirl around the yolk, giving the egg a nice, even shape.
According to the recipe, you need to boil the egg for two minutes.
If for some reason you cannot boil the egg neatly and the white spreads, add half a teaspoon of vinegar to the water. After boiling, the egg should be placed in cold water to remove the acid.
Finally, we will share one more life hack that will solve the problem of liquid protein spreading in the pan and floating in “burdocks”.
Try "straining" the egg through a fine sieve after breaking it. This will separate some of the white and form a neat egg when boiled.
Earlier we explained why the pie might not be baked through inside.
