Easy Peasy Poached Eggs in a Coffee Mug

Do you enjoy poached eggs for breakfast as much as I do? Here’s an easy way to make them in two minutes with almost no clean up!

When I was taking cooking classes, I was taught to make poached eggs in a sauce pan with vinegar, and swirling it to poach the egg. The problem is that this creates an ultra dirty and sticky pan. It is also very difficult to get the right shape for the poached egg. Inevitably, my poached egg would look like a blob!

Fast forward to my life as a busy working mom, I have figured out a way to cook poached eggs in a coffee mug that takes less time, with less cleanup, and my eggs turn out beautifully and perfectly shaped every single time!

Here’s how:
Put boiling water in a coffee mug
Crack an egg into the mug
Microwave for one minute
Adjust the time up or down depending if you prefer a poached egg runny or hard.
Voila! Easy peasy yummy poached egg 🥚!

You may need to adjust the Time depending on the wattage of your microwave. Mine is 1200 watts.

It’s a great way to start off your day!

Peace ☮️ and Love ❤️ to you and yours

WONDERFUL!!! some of the ceremonies guys go into with poaching eggs is real comedy....This gal hits it outta da park

For all the simpletons trying to make smart comments, some of us live in places that have neither ovens or stoves to cook. I live in a single room with just a microwave, toaster and kettle so it's just simple videos like this that makes my diet become a bit more pleasant. Many thanks to the creator of this video as I love eggs especially poached.

I am in my mid 70s and live in a small trailer with no stove, oven or anywhere for a hot plate. Crock pot and microwave are the only way I have to cook anything, including eggs. So, thank you for your tutorial.

Best egg poaching method on the internet, so simple and effective

[aishaniaz]

Thank you so much. It's brilliant !...I did one egg at a time . I also put a couple of drops of Apple cider vinegar in the cup ( helps coagulate the whites), covered it with a small plate and microwaved for 40 seconds voila! Perfect poached egg with firm white and runny yolk. Happy breakfast 😊

Just found this in my feed. I have to say, I am impressed. Totally impressed... Thanks for the life hack!

Two eggs in a soup mug, 1c water and two capfuls of vinegar, 1.5min. Perfectly runny eggs. It took some trials but its so easy . Thank you ! 💜

This totally makes sense had to come here after I ordered a very well shaped poached egg and figured there must he a hack no ways it can be that perfect.

At first I thought "no, too much work" but, as I love poached eggs, and as I can't handle pans due to a bad back, I gave it a go. Brilliant result. The easiest method ever! So, many thanks for your endeavours and recipes.

I'm going to do it tomorrow.thanks. I am tired of scrambled eggs.Thanks for this

[richardf]

WOW! I tried this for breakfast this morning and it actually works!!! Unbelievably easy and the result is a perfect poached egg without the mess. If you have a bunch of eggs to prepare, just hold them in a pan of warm water. A BIG thank you!👍

[cynthiaanglin]

So easy, and WOW! I've always thought poaching eggs would take too much time & mess. Not anymore! Thanks for making this video!😊

I always first put the cooked egg on a paper towel and blot the top gently with another paper towel. It helps to avoid all that excess water from making the toast soggy since I like to eat mine on top of the toast.

The thing that never seems to be added to these videos is ??? The wattage or power of the microwave?😮

Imagine mixing both water and poached eggs together in a cup noodle❤❤❤

[randbaldwin]

I love this method, but I don't bother boiling water first, just microwave about a minute. I do a couple at a time in the same mug, eggs first and then cover with tapwater (not to the top). You'll dial in the time according to your microwave and yolk preference.
I also like to use a cup of bone broth and seasonings (even nutritional yeast flakes for the B vitamins). Keep an eye on it if you see whites rising, stop and stir, nuke a little more. Makes a super quick and tasty protein-rich cup of soup.

Few days back my daughter showed me to make like this.But I learned a bit more here.To use hot water in cup first.Thank you.

[stevelee]

Thanks! Great video
Well done and easy to follow

[soundninja]

Amazing. Much better than the people suggesting you crack the egg into a ramekin, transfer it to another ramekin, but through a fine mesh strainer then throw it into a pot of water. As if i'm bothering with all that clean up

Clever, clever. I like this, and it works. And it’s simple. And it’s fast. Thank you!
