The speediest way (not the best way) to poach an egg - in the microwave! Great hack for work lunches when you want a freshly poached egg.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp cider vinegarÂ
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp cider vinegar
- 1 egg
Fill a microwave-safe cup or bowl with water from the tap as hot as you can make it.
Add 1/2 tsp of cider vinegar.
Slowly break an egg into the bowl. Be sure the eggs are fully submerged in the water to avoid popping! I then blast it on high at 30-second intervals for 2-3 minutes. This can depend on how hot the water is. You can tell by removing it with a slotted spoon – if it has gone opaque but jiggles a little, you’ve nailed it.
