This recipe provides a simple and quick way to prepare a delicious poached egg using a microwave, perfect for a busy morning.
Place the butter and water in a microwave-safe bowl.
Ensure the bowl is microwave-safe to avoid any mishaps.
Microwave the mixture on high for 20 seconds to melt the butter.
Cover the bowl loosely to prevent splatters.
Crack the egg into the bowl and gently poke the yolk with a fork.
Poking the yolk prevents it from bursting during cooking.
Sprinkle the salt, white pepper, and grated cheese over the egg.
Distribute the seasoning evenly for consistent flavor.
Cover the bowl with a lid or microwave-safe plate and microwave on medium power for 45-60 seconds.
Adjust the time based on your microwave's wattage.
Let the bowl sit covered for 1 minute to finish cooking.
This resting time ensures the egg is cooked through evenly.
Carefully remove the cover and serve the egg warm.
Use oven mitts to handle the hot bowl safely.
