Microwave poached eggs are the perfect solution for those busy mornings when time is of the essence but you're still after a delicious breakfast. Simply take a fresh egg and crack it into a microwave-safe bowl, adding a splash of water to help create that lovely poached texture. Cover it lightly with a plate or microwave-safe lid to prevent any splatters, and pop it in the microwave for about 45 seconds. The result? A perfectly poached egg with a runny yolk that can effortlessly elevate a slice of toast or a warm English muffin. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and perhaps a dash of hot sauce for those who enjoy a bit of heat. It’s a quick and delightful way to enjoy a classic dish without the hassle of boiling water!
