5. Break each egg and Put each egg into a small cup or rosette
6. If you have egg circles, tip each egg into each circle slowly, from a low hight
7. If you don’t have egg rings, take a soft spatula and mix the water in the pan so it forms a loop, with another hand sink an egg from the cup into the loop, with two spatulas form egg white into the circle.
8. Do the same thing with every egg until all in. Please note, the water has to be very hot but not simmering or boiling, or white with spread everywhere
9. Constantly touch your eggs with the finger, to make sure they still soft not too firm, or it won’t’ be semi runny inside.

4. In the stainless steel bowl combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tsp of mustard, 1.5 tbsp of cold water, 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of 9 spice or black pepper, 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (after trying bote we did stick with apple cider vinegar )
5. Whisk it vigorously until swollen in size
6. Put the bowl over the boiling pot of water and keep whisking until thickened and warmer than warm but cooler than hot.
7. The trick is you do not keep the bowl on the boiling pot all the time, you are 1 minute on, one minute of and so on until thickened. The thickness should be like yoghurt.
