There are lots of ways to poach an egg, and this method is the clear winner. While it may seem fussy, cracking the eggs into individual bowls makes it easier to add them to the simmering water, plus it ensures the yolk stays intact. A splash of white vinegar adds a touch of acidity and helps the egg whites set faster. Enjoy these perfectly poached eggs with a slice of whole-grain toast or use them in a dish like eggs Benedict.
