How to Poach a Perfect Egg in Under 3 Minutes in the Microwave

After the BF took apart our stove top and left for three days, I was dying for an egg. Yes, he took apart our stove top. Took the coils out of the stove and left them...and I couldn't figure out how to get them back in and was afraid I would electrocute myself...it happens...

In his defense, he was doing it to order new drip pans, because the ones in our apartment are nasty. But he still left them off. For days. 

And I was hungry. 

So I attempted to poach an egg in the microwave. Apparently...this works. Really freakin' well. In less than 3 minutes. 

Start with a microwavable storage container--preferably one with a steam-release lid. Fill with two cups of water.

Microwave that bad boy for 2 minutes. Then drop an egg into the hot water. I have not tested this with more than one egg...but feel free to let me know how it works out. I'm a one egg kinda girl (OK...my ever-expanding waistline is a one egg kinda girl and I have to keep her from exploding.)

Put the lid back on the container, Microwave for 55 seconds. The egg will look something like this after it comes out. If you add extra eggs, try 55 seconds to start...if you need to add more time, you can always do that.

Is that not a beautiful piece of eggy goodness? Seriously.

This is my favorite breakfast sandwich this week. Blueberry waffles with turkey sausage, cinnamon tuscano cheese from Trader Joe's, and a poached egg.

Perfectly poached. In under 3 minutes. Gooey inside, solid outside. For the win.
