Poach A Perfect Egg In The Microwave

By Mum's Pantry September 11, 2015

We eat poached eggs a lot in our house and I have them down to a fine art. I don't use any fancy machine, simply a microwave and it's so easy and only takes a minute.

Ingredients

  • Egg - 1
  • Tap water - 2 cups
  • White Vinegar - 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl add water and vinegar.
  2. Crack egg into middle of bowl.
  3. Pop in microwave on high for 1 minute.
  4. Use an egg flipper to gently remove from bowl onto toast or plate.

TIPS:,

  • The egg will keep cooking in the water if you don't remove it once cooked.  
  • Use fresh water and vinegar for each egg - don't use the same as it will be already hot and will overcook the egg. 
  • This is based on an 1100 watt microwave. You may need to adjust timing in accordance with your microwave, if in doubt cook in 5 second increments. This method is perfect for an 1100 watt model.
