How To Make Poached Eggs In Your Microwave

By srumbel

That is, until a few weeks ago, when some of my girlfriends and I took a girls’ trip to Nashville. We stayed in a gorgeous Airbnb rental and had a great time! But one morning, I noticed that a few of the ladies were microwaving something for breakfast. I asked what they were making, and to my great surprise, they told me they were making poached eggs! I was intrigued to say the least, so I had them show me how it’s done. It sounds too good to be true, but it totally works!

Ingredients

• microwave-safe mug or cup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 Tbsp white vinegar
• 1 egg
• Small microwave-safe plate

Preparation

Step 1

Gently crack an egg into a microwave-safe mug or bowl.

Pour the water and white vinegar over the egg, then place a small plate over the mug.

Microwave for 1 minute. (The cook time will vary from microwave to microwave. The microwave at our studio is an 1000-watt model, and I used full power. If your microwave has a lower wattage, you may need to increase the cook time. If your microwave has a higher wattage, you may want to use a lower power setting!)

After cooking, carefully remove the mug and plate from your microwave. Use a slotted spoon to check on the egg. If the white is set, it’s done! If it’s not quite set, put the mug and plate back into the microwave and cook for another 20 seconds. Repeat until the egg white has set.

Serve your poached egg however you like!
