COOKBOOK / 31853
Start by filling a microwave-safe cup or small bowl with water, then add a splash of vinegar. Carefully crack your eggs into the water, making sure they’re fully submerged. Pop the cup into the microwave and cook for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Once done, use a spoon to gently lift the eggs out and let any excess water drain off before serving.
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Pierce the egg yolk gently with a toothpick to prevent bursting.
- Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate to avoid splatters.
This method is quick and easy, perfect for busy mornings or when you want a healthy protein boost without much fuss. It uses minimal equipment and produces tender, perfectly cooked eggs every time.
Serve your eggs on toasted bread, with avocado slices or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley. They also pair well with a side of sautéed spinach or a light salad for a balanced meal.
Poached eggs are best eaten immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat gently in warm water or the microwave at low power to avoid overcooking.
