Fill a medium saucepan with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Add the vinegar. Crack one egg into a ramekin or small bowl and another into a second ramekin. Swirl the simmering water with a spoon to create a whirlpool and carefully add an egg to center of pan. Quickly add a second egg. Cook to desired doneness, 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.
PRO TIP Be sure the water is not boiling fiercely. A light simmer ensures that the eggs will poach gently and hold their shape.
