Simple Poached Eggs

Add water to a large skillet, filling to within 1 inch of the top. Bring water to boiling. Add the vinegar, then reduce heat so the liquid is just barely simmering.

Crack one egg into a small heat-proof bowl or custard cup. While tipping the bowl or cup, partially submerge the bowl or cup in the simmering liquid and very gently tip the egg in the water. Repeat with remaining eggs.

Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully remove each egg with a slotted spoon.
