Ingredients

  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  • Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a bare simmer and add white vinegar.
  • Break 1 egg into a small bowl and gently tip into the pan.
  • Repeat with remaining 3 eggs and cook until the whites are just set, but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
