These sous vide eggs have a perfectly set white with a runny yolk. Poached eggs are normally cooked directly in simmering water, but that can be tricky and lead to rubbery, messy eggs. I have tried different variations of times and temps, and this is the best method I have found. Fresh eggs have tighter whites and produce the best results.

Ingredients

  • 4 large cold eggs
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set temperature to 167 degrees F (75 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions; allow 15 minutes for the water to heat.

  2. 2

    Gently lower eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Immediately set a kitchen timer for 13 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove eggs from water once timer is up and let cool for 3 minutes. Gently crack egg around the middle and peel top half of shell. Slide egg out into a small bowl or serve over toast. Season with salt and pepper.
