NO Fail Microwave Perfect Poached Egg Recipe

Today I am going to make a very quick and simple

microwave

egg, without

fail

. I have an egg, I have a glass bowl and a half cup of cold water for this

recipe

, I'm just going to measure. this just so you know exactly what size bowl I'm using four and a half inches in diameter so there we go so the first thing I'm going to do is get the water in there first you can crack the egg right in. in the bowl if you want I'm just going to break it into a smaller bowl here first just for this video like this and then I'm going to gently pop it in there now the reason I'm doing this is because I didn't want the egg to stick to the bottom of our bowl, here we go, okay, so this water is cold, I measured it, it's exactly half a cup, so now what we're going to do is we're going to go to the

microwave

, okay, we're in the microwave, now I'm going to stick my egg in there and we'll close it okay I'm going to set this for 50 seconds and I'm going to start right now so I'm just going to let it go and I'll come back when it's ready there we go we'll take it out and now the hot water will continue to cook this and it's

perfect

, so I'm going to head over to our work area again, okay, there's our egg and it's

perfect

ly done, so I'm just waiting for my toast to appear and I'll be back in a second, okay, there's my toast, no I'm going to spread butter on it. today I'm going to press this with my fork and then I'm going to take my beautiful

poached

egg and let it drain a little bit and there the magic with this is that the water you're using cold water. and I have measured it so I know this is not a mistake and what happens is the water cushions the egg so it doesn't explode in the microwave, we'll hit it with a little pepper, a little salt and that's it.

I'm going to go into this just to show you, let's zoom in a little bit and show you what this egg looks like and look at that, if you want it runnier, 45 seconds you want it a little bit harder, add another five seconds, but there you get beautiful. , no

fail

, microwave

poached

egg. I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you next time. Oh that's good.
