NO Fail Microwave Perfect Poached Egg Recipe

Measure out 1/2 cup of cold water into a glass bowl that is 4 1/2 inches in diameter.

Crack the egg into a smaller bowl first to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the glass bowl.

Gently transfer the egg from the smaller bowl into the glass bowl with water.

Place the glass bowl into the microwave and close the door.

Set the microwave for 50 seconds and start it.

Once the microwave stops, carefully take the bowl out, noting that the water will continue to cook the egg.

Let the egg drain a little before placing it on toast.

Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste.

If you want a runnier egg, reduce the time to 45 seconds; for a firmer egg, add 5 more seconds.
