Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 Fresh Egg
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • Pinch of Salt
  • White Vinegar (optional, about 1 teaspoon)
  • Microwave-safe Bowl or Mug

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Crack a fresh egg into a microwave-safe bowl or mug filled with about 1/2 cup of water. Add a splash of white vinegar and a pinch of salt to help the egg whites solidify.
  2. Cover the Bowl: Place a microwave-safe plate or lid loosely on top of the bowl to prevent splatters while letting steam escape.
  3. Microwave on High: Cook on high power for 45 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your microwave’s strength. Watch carefully to ensure the egg white sets while the yolk remains soft.
  4. Remove and Drain: Carefully take out the bowl and use a slotted spoon to lift the poached egg, letting excess water drip off.
  5. Serve Immediately: Place the poached egg on toast, salad, or grains. Season with freshly ground pepper and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Eggs for best results; they hold together better.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your microwave to avoid overcooking.
  • Always include water to ensure gentle steaming and prevent explosions.
  • Cover the bowl loosely to avoid messes while allowing steam to escape.
  • Practice on one egg first to find the optimal microwave timing for your appliance.
