How to Poach an Egg

My best friend was in town from Los Angeles over the weekend, and one of the first things she did when she saw me was to proudly proclaim that she had set a cooking goal for herself. "I love poached eggs at brunch, so it's time I learned how to make them at home," she said. Instead of going out on Sunday, we stayed home and made poached eggs with blender hollandaise and prosciutto. For some reason, poached eggs developed a reputation for being difficult to make, but really, the process is easier than waiting in line at a popular city brunch spot. See step-by-step photos when you keep reading.

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.
