Microwave Poached Eggs (Bon Appetit Magazine) image

This method is as effective as poaching eggs on the stove; but it is a good deal faster, and the cleanup is MUCH easier!

I decided to try it-- it works!

Time 2m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 egg
1/2 cup room temperature water
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Microwave the mug: Put the mug in the microwave and microwave on HIGH power for 30 seconds. NOTE: Start out microwaving the egg for only 30 seconds. Take out the mug, remove the plate or plastic wrap, and peek inside; you want the whites to be opaque, and the yolk to be still on the runny side. If the whites are still clear, return the cover in place and put the mug back in the microwave for another 10 to 60 seconds. To prevent explosions, do not microwave the egg longer than 30 seconds at a time, and don't microwave longer than a total of 1 1/2 minutes. How long it takes to cook the egg to your liking depends primarily on the wattage of your microwave. You'll need to play around a bit. The time can vary a lot!
