Microwave Poached Eggs

So you may want to mention what happens if you forget to pierce the yolk.......the egg explodes all over the microwave in millions of teeny tiny bits. Next time I will follow every step!

I'm going to try this again. Today, I cooked for 1 minute, and the egg white wasn't formed at all, still floating in strands in the water. So I added 30 seconds, and then my yolk was cooked solid. So I will try a minute and 10 seconds, and maybe and 3 seconds at a time. I didn't take a pic, because I didn't feel the results were optimum. I think this is a great idea and I will try it again. Thanks for sharing!

Update: I have found that 58 seconds at full power works perfect for my eggs. Not too runny, not too hard. I realized I forgot to cover with plastic wrap on my first try, hence the "explosion". Covering makes a big difference. Also, I take the egg out of water with a slotted spoon, then "dry" it off on a paper towel so it is not too wet when placing on the toast. Yummy! I love poached eggs, but always hated the hassle of making them. Not a problem now. Next time I will microwave at 80% for 1 minute or so...when I cooked it at full power, the egg exploded even though I had pierced the yoke. Oh well, it still tasted good after that!

Awesome. So easy and quick. I used a small salad bowl, which was not the best idea. My egg didn't cook evenly and I ended up with an overcooked brown spot on the side of the egg after cooking for 1 minute. Tried again, same container, same power for 58 seconds and still had an overcooked brown area just smaller and less brown! Next time, I'll use a tea cup and cook on 90% for a minute or just keep adjusting the time down til I get something that's perfect. My microwave is 1000W.

Perfect poached egg with no fuss!! I'm so impressed. I will be doing this often, whenever I want eggs with toast. It's so easy and quick. The results are perfect. Make sure to follow the directions and prick the yolk with a toothpick and then cover loosely with plastic wrap. My egg was done in about 50-55 seconds. Yum!

I poked my egg, covered it and put it in for 55 seconds. The egg whites exploded through the wrap all over my microwave leaving the little yellow fully cooked ball of yolk in the dish.

This turned out great, so simple and fast. The timing of one minute was perfect for my microwave.
Clean-up's a breeze.

Perfect! I don't know why it took me this long to search on "microwave poached eggs"??? This was so easy and quick! I will probably cook them for a little less time next time as I like my yolk a little more runny, but even with the yolk cooked through it was delicious on my morning toast :^) Thanks for a simple, yummy breakfast recipe!

Simply amazing. I made this at work this morning without the vinegar and it was egg perfection. We have a small microwave here and it took a little longer than a minute. Now I can make my own "Mc" Breakfast sandwich and save myself some time and money.

Quick and easy way to poach an egg. Not sure what the tiny amount of vinegar does, but I followed as written. I need to cut the cooking time a bit in my microwave, as it is high powered and takes some getting used to :) I love poached eggs but hate waiting for water to boil and then cleaning the pan, so this will be great for me.

We used this recipe for foods class at the school that I teach. The kids didn't like it. I think scrambled eggs are more of their thing. Overall I do use this recipe at home and I like it.

Pouched eggs aren't really my favorite. I like scrambled eggs better. I still made it though and ate it.... They were fair and ok but definitly not my favorite.

I'm not sure what a poached egg is supposed to be like, but this turned out fine as far as I can tell. I did one minute but found I should probably do a second.

Wonderful! Tender and super-easy. I did use just-not-boiling water and think in the future, I'll use "cold" faucet-fresh water.

I never made poached eggs before tonight and I actually only ate them for the first time recently in a restaurant. I bought the Nordic Ware Microwave 2 egg poacher at Walmart (under $5.00) a year ago but never used it because I was afraid I would mess it up. Tonight I finally used it and the eggs came out perfectly cooked. I had thrown out the instructions so I wasn't sure how long to cook them and that is when I decided to check the recipe in Food.com
The difference between using your recipe and my microwave poacher is that for mine I did not have to use vinegar but I had to spray with Pam/flour spray. I put cheese on each egg after I took them out of the microwave and placed back in for 30 seconds. This was too long and the perfect yolks became hard boiled. From now on I will either add the cheese before placing in microwave or leave it out entirely. I love all the tips I learn on Food.com. Thanks so much!
