Huevo escalfado al microondas

Ingredientes

• 1 cup cold water
• 2 tsp white vinegar
• 2 large eggs
• salt and black pepper to taste

Preparación

1. 1

   (Instructions for 1000 Watt Microwave) Fill a 10 ounce microwave safe ramekin, coffee mug or microwave safe glass dish with 1/2 cup cold tap water. Add a splash of vinegar (1 teaspoon).

2. 2

   Crack the egg into the water. Use the tip of a toothpick to gently prick the yolk after it's in the water. It should be submerged. There's no need to pierce all the way through just a gentle prick on top.

3. 3

   Place a microwave safe saucer on top to cover the opening completely. Microwave for 30 seconds, lift saucer to allow steam to release and check the white for doneness.

4. 4

   Continue to cook in 10-15 second increments until it reaches your preferred doneness.

5. 5

   Let stand for 1 minute in the water. Repeat process with other egg in a clean cup. (Don't use the same ramekin, cup or bowl, it will be hot)

6. 6

   Use a slotted spoon or fork to remove the egg from the hot water to a paper towel to drain.

7. 7

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste and enjoy.

   Cook's Note: If you’re using a higher wattage microwave simply adjust the cooking time and cook in shorter increments. Likewise, if the microwave has a lower wattage it may take longer for the eggs to poach. Use the cook times as a road map and adjust the doneness according to your taste.
