Poached quail egg

Bring a pan of water to boil (around 500ml for 12 eggs) and add a tablespoon of white wine vinegar
Pour 200ml of room temperature water into a bowl with a teaspoon of white wine vinegar
Using a small serrated knife, open the quail eggs and get them into the bowl with water and vinegar
No need to worry about any bits of shell
Once the water in the pan is boiling, pour the contents of the bowl in, all at once
Bring to a simmer and cook for 60-90 seconds
To check whether the eggs are ready, simply lift one out with a slotted spoon and gently prod it
The egg yolk should still be nice and soft, with the egg white set around it
Once you are happy with them, lift them all out and place on a paper towel to dry them off a little
Trim off any stringy bits of egg white and serve immediately
