Steps to Poach an Egg in the Microwave
First, fill your microwave-safe bowl halfway with water. Add a pinch of salt. The salt makes the water taste better and helps the egg to cook.
Adding Your Egg
Carefully crack your egg into the bowl of water. Be gentle so you don’t break the yolk (the yellow part). This is like giving your egg a warm bath!
Cooking Your Egg
Now, it’s time to cook! Put your bowl in the microwave. Set the microwave for one minute on a medium setting. Make sure to ask an adult for help if you need it.

Serving Your Egg
Once your egg is cooked, ask an adult to help you take the bowl out of the microwave. It will be hot! Use a spoon to scoop your poached egg onto a plate. Now, you have a yummy poached egg made all by yourself!
