Ingredients

  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
  • Place the egg in small vessel and add the vinegar on top.
  • Using a whisk, stir the water in a circle, to create a vortex.
  • Gently lower the egg into the water and immediately turn off the heat.
  • Let egg sit in the hot water for 3 minutes.
  • Remove with a rubber spatula.
  • If making more eggs, cook 2 to 3 eggs at a time, and then keep cooked eggs in a separate bowl filled with warm water.
