Easy Microwave Poached Eggs Recipes

MICROWAVE POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Fill a microwave-safe coffee cup, glass, or microwave-safe liquid measuring cup with 1/2 cup of cold tap water.
• Crack 1 egg into the cup.
• Place a saucer on top of the cup so that it covers the opening completely.
• Microwave on high for 30 seconds and then see if the egg white is cooked through. If not, continue to microwave in 10-second increments. Wait several seconds before removing the lid as steam can escape quickly and powerfully, even after a very short amount of cooking time.
• Repeat with the other egg in a fresh cup. Serve with salt and pepper, and enjoy.

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!
