Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon White vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Crack the egg into a microwave-safe mug, bowl, or ramekin.
Step 2
Pour 1/2 cup of water over the egg, ensuring it is fully submerged.
Step 3
Add 1/4 teaspoon of white vinegar to the water. This helps the egg white coagulate quickly.
Step 4
Gently poke the yolk once with a sharp knife or toothpick to prevent it from bursting while cooking.
Step 5
Cover the bowl or mug loosely with a microwave-safe plate or a microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Step 6
Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds for a soft poached egg or 50-60 seconds for a firmer yolk. Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
Step 7
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and use a slotted spoon to lift the poached egg out of the water.
Step 8
Gently blot the egg with a paper towel to remove excess water and serve immediately.
