Microwave Poached Egg

📝 Ingredients

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

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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. 2Crack 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. 3Place 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. 4Continue to cook in 10-15 second increments until it reaches your preferred doneness.
5. 5Let 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. 6Use a slotted spoon or fork to remove the egg from the hot water to a paper towel to drain.
7. 7Season with salt and black pepper to taste and enjoy.
8. 8Cook'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.
