Poach the Eggs
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar to the water. Crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl, then gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft poach or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
