Method
- Don't attempt more than 2 eggs at a time in the same pan
- Fill a small frying pan about 4 cm (1.5") with boiling water and lower heat to a simmer.
- Add a pinch of sea salt
- Break each egg into its own saucer
- Slide each egg off the saucer into the water. Do both in a short space of time if you can
- Wait 3 minutes...
- Remove each egg with a slotted spoon
- Allow each egg to drain properly, as soggy toast is horrible
-
The swirling water gathers up the white
-
swirl the water with another spoon and then slip the egg into the middle of the pan
-
Slide the egg off a saucer
Chef's notes
Don't let the water boil, it will break up the egg white. Don't stir the water again. Skim the white residue if you wish.
Serving suggestions
- Serve with hot brown buttered toast, using only real butter.
- Pat dry and refrigerate for later use in a salad.
