  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar white wine, rice wine, apple cider or champagne vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Fill a microwave safe 1-cup bowl 3/4 full of boiling water from kettle. Add 1 teaspoon vinegar (white wine or any flavour you like).
  • Crack egg on counter top or with spoon and gently put it into hot water. Cover bowl with microwave safe plate.
  • Microwave on 80% power for 30 seconds. Uncover plate and use a spoon to flip egg so white has a chance to totally encase egg yolk. Cover bowl with plate again and microwave on 80% power for 15 more seconds. If egg white is not totally set continue cooking for 5-10 second intervals.
  • Drain with slotted spoon and place on towel to dry. Repeat with fresh water and vinegar for second egg if desired.
