Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbsp Water
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Add 1 teaspoon water to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Make sure the water is distributed evenly over the bottom of the bowl.
- Crack an egg into the bowl from Step 1, and poke a hole in the egg yolk with a fork or toothpick.
- Cover with a microwave-safe lid or cling wrap and microwave for 30 seconds (timing may vary depending on the power of your appliance).
- Microwave for another 30 seconds.
- It will make a popping sound after about 10 to 15 seconds.
- This is a sign that the egg is done!
- The yolk is still nice and runny and soft.
- For those of you who like well cooked yolks, keep microwaving in 10 second increments while checking on the egg.
- This is how it will turn out if you do not pop the bubbles on the egg before microwaving it.
- This is the bowl I always use.
- It is about 14 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep; this dish yields a fried egg that is a little less than 10 cm in diameter.
- This is the microwave-safe lid I use.
- You can also use plastic wrap.
