Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 1 egg(s)
  • Water

Instructions

Working time approx. 2 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 minute; Total time approx. 3 minutes

Fill a small microwave-safe bowl 2/3-3/4 full with water. Crack a raw egg and carefully lower it into the water. Place the bowl in the microwave on high for 50 seconds. The time depends on how you like your eggs. Carefully drain the water, and your poached egg is ready. Editor’s note: Please read the comments; it does happen from time to time that eggs explode, making a dirty microwave. Even on a plate, the egg can explode if you puncture it. So maybe wait a bit. Covering the bowl in the microwave probably helps, too.
