Poached egg is a traditional French breakfast. The classic version of its preparation involves breaking a raw egg in a pot of boiling water or placing it there in cling film. It turns out a boiled egg without a shell, where the protein coagulates, and the yolk remains soft. But with the advent of modern household electrical appliances, new and easier ways to cook poached eggs have begun to emerge. For example, a microwave oven. A poached egg in the microwave is a win-win option for a quick, tasty, and most importantly healthy breakfast for all family members. This dietary dish can stand alone or become one of the ingredients in salad and other culinary delights.
To cook poached poached in the microwave, you will spend only 1-1, 5 minutes and a minimum of products that are always available in every kitchen. All you need is microwave-safe ovenware. For example, a glass or porcelain container, but not metal or foil. The recipe is very simple and will suit those who are in a hurry in the morning and love poached, but do not like to cook it in the classic way. Also, the recipe will help out at work if you have a microwave oven. The main thing with this recipe is to be careful, since everyone has different microwave ovens and it takes different times to cook poached. All the complexity of cooking lies precisely in the calculation of the cooking time.

Step by step cooking poached eggs in the microwave, recipe with photo:
1. Pour drinking water into a convenient microwave safe container. Add a pinch of salt and vinegar. Mix well.
2. Wash the egg, gently break the shell with a knife and pour the contents into a container with water. Make sure the egg is completely covered in water.
3. Cover the mug with a saucer and microwave the egg. Cook it for 40-45 seconds at maximum power.
4. When the protein coagulates, remove the container from the microwave oven so that the yolk does not have time to cook and remains soft. When removing a container from the microwave, be careful - the dishes may be hot. If the protein has not “grabbed” enough, return the egg to the microwave and cook it for another 10 seconds. When the egg is ready, drain the water from the container, and carefully remove the egg with a slotted spoon. Serve the finished poached egg cooked in the microwave immediately to the table. It is not customary to cook it for the future. Spread it on warm toast, bagel, plain bread, or fresh vegetable salad.
