How to cook a poached egg in just 2 minutes: the easy way

A poached egg is a traditional French dish, usually served for breakfast with toast and greens. And in recent years, it has been added to main courses and salads as well, as it looks quite beautiful and interesting.

However, there are often problems with cooking a poached egg. There are many methods, but not every time it turns out perfectly. Recently, a blogger with the nickname eliseeats shared another method of cooking poached eggs on TikTok. She assures that following it, the dish will always turn out perfect for everyone. And the whole process will take only 2 minutes.

The cook took a glass and filled it halfway with water. Then she simply cracked an egg into the water so that the yolk remains intact. Now she takes a toothpick and gently pokes the yolk so that it doesn't immediately spread. This is to prevent the egg from exploding in the microwave.

The next step is to cover the cup with cling film and microwave it for 30 seconds. When you take the cup out of the oven, you'll get a perfectly cooked poached egg that will be perfect for any breakfast.
