Microwave Poached Eggs

Method

1. 1
   • water2½ dl
   • apple cider vinegar1 tsp
   • salt1 pinch

   Prepare the poaching water — Fill a small microwave-safe bowl or large mug with the water, add the apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt, and stir.

2. 2
   • egg2
   • water2½ dl

   Crack in the egg — Crack an egg gently into the water so the yolk stays whole, then use a toothpick to lightly pierce the yolk membrane in one or two spots — this stops it from bursting under pressure as it cooks.

3. 3
   • white bread2

   Microwave until set — Cover loosely and microwave on medium power for about 50-60 seconds, until the white is fully set but the yolk still jiggles and looks runny.

   Lift out the egg — Lift the poached egg out of the water with a slotted spoon, letting it drain, and repeat with the second egg if cooking both at once isn't possible in your bowl.

5. 5

   • white bread2
   • butter1 tsp
   • avocado½
   • fresh chives1 tsp

   Assemble the avocado toast — Toast the bread and spread with butter. Layer the avocado slices on top, add the poached eggs, then finish with the chopped chives and a crack of black pepper.
