Tips:

  • Use a large enough bowl: The bowl should be large enough to hold the egg and water without overflowing.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will poach more evenly and have a better flavor.
  • Bring the water to a simmer before adding the eggs: This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Gently slide the eggs into the water: Do not drop them in, as this can cause them to break.
  • Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes: The cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave.
  • Check the eggs after 1 minute: Use a spoon to gently lift the edge of an egg. If the white is set and the yolk is still runny, continue cooking for 30 seconds at a time until desired doneness is reached.
  • Season the eggs to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings after poaching.
