Step 1
Start by filling a microwave-safe cup or small bowl with water and add a splash of vinegar. Gently crack your eggs into the water, being careful not to break the yolks. Pop the cup into the microwave and cook for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Once it’s done, carefully drain the water out. Your poached eggs are ready to enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This method is quick and fuss-free, perfect for busy mornings or when you want a healthy protein boost without heating up the stove. It uses minimal equipment and comes together in just a few minutes, making it a great option for any skill level.
How to serve
These eggs pair wonderfully with toast, avocado slices, or a fresh salad. You can also top them with a sprinkle of herbs, a dash of hot sauce, or some grated cheese for extra flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Poached eggs are best eaten immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. To reheat, warm gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to avoid overcooking.
