My DH used to make himself poached eggs using this method all the time. This recipe was found in Chatelaine Food Express Quickies. The cooking time includes the standing time. Note: After reading Lorrie in Montreal's review, I've added poking the egg to prevent messy explosions to the procedure :)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon water or 1 teaspoon butter
1 egg
salt
white pepper
grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat the water or butter in a custard cup.
2. Add the egg, poke it to prevent it from exploding, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and optional Parmesan.
3. Cover and microwave on medium for 45 to 75 seconds.
4. Let stand, with cover on, for 1 minute.
