Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Egg
  • 1 l Water
  • 44.4 gram Vinegar

Instructions

  • Break your egg into a small bowl or glass, so you can easily plop it into the water.
  • Fill a liter of water in a pot and bring it to a boil.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of vinegar. Reduce the heat so the water is just below boiling point.
  • Stir vigorously in the water with a whisk, creating a whirlpool in the center.
  • Carefully pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool without stirring.
  • Let the pot stand while the water spins, allowing the egg white to gather around the yolk.
  • Now, let the egg stay in the pot for about 2-3 minutes. The white should be firm and the yolk runny.
  • Carefully remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve it, for example, with a delicious pasta dish or on rye bread with avocado.
