Crack the eggs into ramekins.

A small bowl will work, too. They key is the have them standing by so that they're ready to go as soon as the water starts to simmer.

That looks so easy! Will definitely have to try sometimes. I'm a huge fan of eggs benedict, but it's limited to being a treat when I travel!

I'm kind of skeptical about the vinegar. I mean, I feel that to change the pH enough to encourage the protein in the egg whites to denature would mean more vinegar than most people add. And to add enough would make the eggs taste very vinegary.

I've attempted to poach eggs in the past without vinegar; thanks for the tip! I will definitely give it another go.
