GoPro Captures An Egg Being Poached Underwater, Incites Benedict Cravings

There's much debate over how to perfectly poach an egg.

The perfect poached egg? It has a runny-but-thick, drippy yolk encased in soft, smooth whites. Some swear adding a dash of vinegar to the simmering pot will help the egg properly solidify. Other say swirling the water in a counter-clockwise motion is key.

What we've never known, until now, is what that egg looks like while it's congealing into a delight that pairs impeccably with a plain piece of toast.
