Poaching an egg is an easy way to make an impressive dish. But poaching in a pan can be tricky. You can easily make a beautiful poached egg in the microwave.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 125 ml of water
• Salt and pepper to taste

To step

Part 1 of 2: Preparations

1. Take a container with a lid that can be used in the microwave. Most plastic, glass and stone containers indicate whether they are safe in the microwave. Use a container that is suitable. Never use metal materials or aluminum foil in the microwave.
2. Fill the container with 125 ml of water. Use a measuring cup and measure 125 ml of water. Pour the water into the container.
3. Break the egg above the container. Tap the egg firmly against the edge of the container to break the shell, but be careful not to break the yolk. Open the eggshell and drop the egg into the bowl of water, then poke the yolk a few times with a fork to prevent it from becoming a mess in your microwave.
4. Make sure the egg is completely submerged. If the egg is not completely submerged, add another 60 ml of water. Now the egg should be under water.

Part 2 of 2: Poaching the egg

1. Set the microwave on the highest setting for 1 minute. Place the container in the microwave and put the lid on. Close the door of the microwave and turn it on for a minute on the highest setting.
2. Make sure the egg is boiled before serving. Open the microwave and remove the lid from the container. The egg white should be firm now, but the yolk still soft. If the egg white still seems runny after a minute, close the microwave door again and add 15 seconds. Check the egg again to make sure the egg white is not runny.
3. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate. Now that the egg is ready, take the lid off and take the container out of the microwave. Remove the egg with the slotted spoon and place it on a plate.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to your perfectly poached egg. Serve it as desired.
