Boiling Water To Poach Eggs for Eggs Benedict Louisiane

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Dave for Expert Village. Today we're going to make a California creole type of eggs Benedict. So now we're going to get ready to poach our eggs so what we want to do is get our pot of water to a rolling boil. Then we want to add just about a quarter of teaspoon of vinegar we're using red wine vinegar here or cider vinegar or anything you want to do. Just put that in there and that keeps the eggs from spreading out quite so much as you drop them in so you want to bring this to a nice boil first. Then you want to turn it back down to a light simmer so when we put our eggs in you'll see how it works out. A hard boil wouldn't work. It would just tear out the eggs right away spread them out and you would just have a big bunch of mush. So you can see the bubbles are starting to form down here but again let's go ahead and bring this to a full boil then calm it down a little bit."
