Ingredients
- Water (The amount is not specified; it should sufficiently cover the egg in a deep bowl.)
- Vinegar (A splash; the amount is not specified.)
- 1 Fresh egg (It should be very fresh and of good quality.)
Steps
- 1
Pour water into a deep microwave-safe bowl.
- 2
Add a splash of vinegar to the water.
- 3
Crack a very fresh egg directly into the bowl, making sure it remains submerged in the water.
- 4
Let it stand in the water for 10 minutes. This resting time is optional: if omitted, the preparation can still be made, although the vinegar works better with the indicated resting time.
- 5
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook the egg for 1 minute.
- 6
If you find it inconvenient to cook it for 1 minute continuously, heat it in two 30-second intervals.
- 7
Remove the egg from the water and serve it as desired, for example on toast, in a salad, or to complete another dish.
Notes
The source does not specify the microwave power or indicate how to remove the egg from the water. Adjust the cooking time according to your appliance to achieve a cooked, contained white and a creamy, runny yolk. The egg should be very fresh.
