Poach Eggs in Microwave

Start by filling a microwave-safe cup or small bowl with water, then add a splash of vinegar. Carefully crack your eggs into the water, making sure they’re fully submerged. Pop the cup into the microwave and cook for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Once done, use a spoon to gently lift the eggs out and let any excess water drain off before serving.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This method is quick and easy, perfect for busy mornings or when you want a healthy protein boost without much fuss. It uses minimal equipment and produces tender, perfectly cooked eggs every time.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your eggs on toasted bread, with avocado slices or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley. They also pair well with a side of sautéed spinach or a light salad for a balanced meal.

Storage Tips

Poached eggs are best eaten immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat gently in warm water or the microwave at low power to avoid overcooking.
