4. Pour in the egg in the centre of the pan and let it cook for 3 minutes.
5. With a slotted spoon take it out and drain on a paper towel.

TIPS
Eggs can be poached ahead and stored in the refrigerator for future use. Drain them in an ice bath to stop the cooking immediately and wash off the vinegar before refrigerating it. Just simmer for 30 seconds before you are ready to serve them again.
