    Add water to a large skillet, filling it 2/3 full and bring to a simmer. Add remaining 1 tbsp. vinegar to the pan. Break each egg into a custard cup, one at a time, and gently pour each egg into the pan of simmering water. Cook approx. 3 minutes or until done to your liking. Gently remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean cotton kitchen towel.
