Poached Eggs (Microwave)

Ingredience

1 Egg

Pokyny

Crack an egg into a small, microwave-safe bowl or ramekin. You want something with a bottom about the width of your desired end product — not so wide that the egg white will spread too much. Pour water over the egg so that it's just covering the yolk, and microwave on high for about 30-45 seconds. The cooking time may take a little trial and error, but you should be able to get it down pretty quickly.

Poznámky

The microwave method helps the egg keep its shape — you won't have pieces of the white separating into boiling water, as may happen on the stove. The white will come out fully cooked and solid enough to handle with a slotted spoon or mesh strainer, while the yolk remains deliciously runny, ready to be punctured and overflow with unctuous flavor. Enjoy it as-is — with some salt and fresh ground pepper — as an umami booster on avocado toast, or another flavorful ingredient to upgrade your home ramen.
