Ingredients

2 eggs
1 tbsp white vinegar
salt and pepper

Instructions

Fill your frying pan or skillet just over half full with water and bring a a boil over high heat
Place the tea stainer over your small cup. Crack an egg into the strainer and let the watery part of the white fall through the strainer into the cup. Discard the watery part of the white in the cup and then tip the egg gently from the strainer into the empty cup. The fresher your eggs are, the less watery white there will be
Once the water has come to a boil reduce the heat to low, so it is barely simmering
Add one tablespoon of white vinegar to the water
Take the slotted spoon and gently swirl the water in a circular motion
Gently add the egg to the moving water. Place the cup as close as possible to the water and tip it in quickly
Cook the egg for 4 – 5 minutes depending on how you like your yolk. 4 minutes for very runny with a just cooked white, 5 minutes for a more firm white but still runny yolk. If you are cooking more than one egg at a time you may need to increase the cooking time slightly, by about 30 seconds
Remove the egg from the water and place on the paper towel to dry
Season with salt and pepper and serve
