Microwave Poached Eggs (Bon Appetit Magazine) image

This method is as effective as poaching eggs on the stove; but it is a good deal faster, and the cleanup is MUCH easier! I heard about this on "Food for Thought" on NPR last week (one of the hosts mentioned that she had read about this technique in the April issue of Bon Appetit Magazine).

Time 2m

Yield 1 poached egg on toast, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup water
1 pinch salt (optional)
1 egg
1 pinch sea salt (to taste)
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

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.

These eggs were a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a little longer next time.

These eggs were a bit more difficult to make than I expected. I had to adjust the cooking time a few times to get them right.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggs came out rubbery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my eggs turned out overcooked. I think I'll try reducing the cooking time next time.

I've never been a fan of poached eggs, but these were actually really good. I liked that the yolks were still runny.

I was skeptical about poaching eggs in the microwave, but I was pleasantly surprised. They turned out great! The whites were cooked through and the yolks were still runny. I'll definitely be making these again.
