Perfect Microwave Poached Egg Recipes

Steps:

• Add the water and white vinegar to a 6 ounce custard cup.
• Break egg into cup, pierce egg yolk with toothpick, and cover dish loosely with plastic wrap.
• Place in microwave and cook for 1 minute or until desired doneness.
• You may need to experiment with cooking times based on the wattage of your microwave and taste preference.
• Immediately remove egg from hot water with a slotted spoon as it will continue to cook.
• Serve with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Pour water into a microwave-safe cup or bowl; add vinegar. Cracks eggs into the cup.
• Cook eggs in the microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds. Drain.

Steps:

• Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
• TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
• Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
• Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
• Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

Steps:

• Boil water and add 1 tsp vinegar. Fill a ramekin or any microwave safe bowl 3/4 of the way with boiling water. Crack an egg and gently slip it into the water. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Use a soup spoon and gently turn egg over, this is so it cooks on both sides. Cover again and microwave 15 seconds longer. Remove immediately from water with a large spoon and drain on a paper towel. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Fill a 1-cup (or larger) bowl (or mug) with 1/2 cup of water.
• Add a pinch of salt to the water if you like.
• Crack an egg into the bowl; make sure the egg is completely submerged.
• Cover the top of the bowl with a small plate or saucer.
• Microwave on HIGH power for 1 minute.
• Remove from microwave and check to see if white of the egg is firm.
• If the egg white or the yolk needs more cooking, re-cover the bowl and microwave on HIGH for another 15 seconds.*.
• Using a slotted serving spoon or large fork, carefully transfer the egg to your toast, your plate, etc., and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• *Please note that microwave cooking times will vary.When I make this, I take the egg out after 1 minute on HIGH and flip it over in the bowl, re-cover, and cook on HIGH for another 15 seconds.

Steps:

• Place water and vinegar in 6 oz. custard cup. Mix well.
• Crack egg into cup, making sure not to break the yolk. Lightly cover with saran wrap.
• Microwave for 60 seconds in 20 second intervals or until to your desired consistency.
