Top each tortilla evenly with shredded cheese. Keep warm
Add water to a depth of 3 inches in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and maintain a light simmer. Add vinegar. Break 4 eggs and slip into water, 1 at a time, as close as possible to surface. Simmer 3—5 minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Remove with slotted spoon. Trim edges, if desired. Repeat procedure with remaining 4 eggs.

Probably not for a while - as each weekend coming up is packed. I'm hoping that I'll get to it soon - I wish I had someone who could join me in eating (family only eats scrambled eggs)..
If you make it, let me know and I'll stop by ;D
