New Well if you're going to get picky on me...
Seriously...most households have a small cake pan. If you don't have a custard cup, then a mug of any sort will do. ( C'mon, be resourceful now :) ) The only thing that is getting dirty is the mug with the egg in it. Boiling water can be done in the microwave in 3 minutes.

And, truth be told, you can poach an egg in the microwave, but I really think that is cheating :-D

FWIW,

Peace,
Amy

New That's how I do it.
By microwave that is.

One egg. One cocktail glass with about a quarter inch of water (old-fashioned or short highball). 1 to 3 minutes depending on how runny you like it. One piece of toast. Drizzle it with water if you like 'em slimy. Pepper the hell out of it. Enjoy.


I've got a poor man's hollandaise sauce recipe somewhere. I'll post it when I find it. Trailer park Eggs Benedict - yum.
