put a pan of water onto boil

add the vinegar

crack each egg into a small bowl

stir the water to create a vortex

gently slide an egg at a time into the water, stirring between each addition

the eggs are done as soon as the white is set but the yolk must still be soft

(time about 2min 30s, or if you take your eggs straight from the fridge, you will need 3 minutes)

refresh in cold water and drain before serving
