A quick and easy way to prepare a delicious poached egg using your microwave.
Pour the water and vinegar into a microwave-safe bowl.
Using a microwave-safe bowl ensures even heating and safety.
Crack the egg into the bowl, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
Cracking the egg gently prevents the yolk from breaking.
Pierce the yolk lightly with a toothpick to prevent it from bursting during cooking.
Piercing the yolk allows steam to escape, avoiding mess.
Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high for about 1 minute.
Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave's wattage for desired doneness.
Carefully remove the egg from the hot water using a slotted spoon.
Removing the egg promptly stops the cooking process, ensuring the perfect texture.
Serve the poached egg immediately, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving immediately ensures the egg is warm and fresh.
