Easiest Poached Eggs
Easiest Poached Eggs
I like poached eggs on toast, great breakfast with a side of bacon. I made this for breakfast this morning for my wife and I on 10 Sep 2016. On the regular rotation now, very easy, my comments below.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- water
- white vinegar
- 1-2 slices bread, toasted and buttered, thick sliced perferred
Instructions
- Using a small Pyrex measuring cup or a microwavable bowl, add 1/8 teaspoon of white vinegar, add to that 1/2 cup water. Crack 1 egg into the water, and gently poke the yoke with a toothpick (this keeps the yolk, you know, from exploding). Cover the measuring cup or bowl with plastic wrap but leave one edge open just a bit.
- Microwave for 1 minute and remove immediately. The egg yolk should be cooked to medium, white set, yolk a bit runny (perfect in my opinion). You may need to experiment on a few eggs as every microwave is different on power.
- Quickly remove the egg from the cup or bowl using a slotted spoon and place on a slice of toast. Repeat this again for another egg, placing each on a slice of buttered toast or two eggs on one large thick sliced piece of toast, add a side of bacon or sausage, and you have breakfast.
Notes
Minimal cost.

I made this on 10 Sep 2016, very easy to do but one does need to experiment to get the timing right on their microwave, mine I use for about 1 1/2 minutes and the egg came out perfect, that was the 4th try. I used thick sliced large bread so next week, I am just going to put 2 eggs on one slice of buttered toast. This was easy and fool proof. In my regular rotation now for breakfasts.
