Replying to @hotel trivago poached egg #egg #eggs #poachedegg #foodtiktok #fyp #julieandjulia this comment made me think of this scene from Julie and Julia when she tries an egg for the very first time! How to poach an egg. Bring water to a light boil, add just a few drops of vinegar, turn down to a light boil, carefully add your egg (pro tip: crack the egg into a small dish first) and then place into the lightly boiling water. Cover with lid and turn the heat off. Let cook for 3-4 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk. Salt and pepper and enjoy!
