Cooking Steps
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Add salt to the water and reduce the heat to medium-low, so the water is at a gentle simmer.
Crack the egg into a small cup or ramekin.
Using a spoon, swirl the water in the pot to create a gentle whirlpool.
Pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool.
Let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, and the yolk is still runny.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and let it drain excess water.
Serve the poached egg immediately.
