Crack the freshest egg possible into a fine mesh sieve and allow the thinner whites to drain out.
Transfer the egg to a small custard cup/ramekin.
Bring 4 inches of water to boil in a large pot; then remove from heat.
Add a few splashes of neutral vinegar.
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, stir the water to create a whirlpool.
Gently lower the ramekin with the egg into the middle of the whirlpool and pour in; set a timer for 3-3½ minutes.
When the egg is done poaching, remove it with a slotted spoon.
You can gently dab with a paper towel to remove any excess water, if desired.
