how long to poach an egg in microwave
Leave the egg as it is if you would like the yolk runny, or use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the yoke if you prefer the egg cooked through. Cover the dish loosely with a piece of plastic wrap and place it in your microwave. Set your microwave for one minute on medium heat and listen carefully. Depending on the wattage and type of microwave, poaching may take more or less than one minute. You will know the egg is done when you begin to hear popping noises.
