There is nothing more satisfying than cutting into a perfectly poached egg and witnessing the nutrition pour out. Eggs are an excellent source of choline and omega fats for brain health. A breakfast like this will leave you energized and you might not even notice that the toast is missing.
One egg packs
Bring a small, deep pot of water to a boil
Add in up to a teaspoon of white vinegar. Any more than a teaspoon might leave your eggs tasting vinegary. The vinegar here helps to keep the egg whites in tact
Use a large spoon to swirl the water into a vortex. Crack the egg into a small bowl or ramekin and, once the water is swirling, slowly drop the egg from the ramekin into the boiling water
Set your timer for 3 minutes if you like the yolk to be runny, but whites well cooked. If you prefer a harder yolk, let the egg boil for 4 minutes or more
Use the same large spoon to carefully take the egg out of the water. I find it helpful to turn the heat off first so the water stops boiling
Serve it over a salad with veggies, on top of sliced tomato, roasted sweet potato rounds, or whole grain toast
