Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ⅛ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add water and vinegar to a microwavable dish (I used a measuring cup)
  2. Crack egg into the water and gently poke yolk 4-5 times with a toothpick. Cover with plastic wrap.
  3. Microwave 1 minute.  Check egg and cook an additional 15-20 seconds if needed. Remove from water immediately to stop it from cooking.

Notes

  • Microwaves and cook times can vary as can personal preference with cook on the egg. Start with 1 minute and check the egg. If it's not quite set enough for you, cook it 5-15 seconds more. Once you've made it once or twice, you should be able to get the time for your own microwave (and egg preferences) down.
