Can I Cook an Egg in Microwave
You want a poached egg for your avocado toast but don’t want to deal with swirling vinegar water? Microwave it. Fill a small bowl with half a cup of water, crack an egg right into the water, and cover it with a plate. Microwave for 50 seconds to a minute. The water acts like a gentle hot tub, and the egg comes out looking like a little cloud of joy.

The “I’m Too Lazy to Scramble” Technique
Want a fried egg without the pan? You absolute rebel. Crack an egg into a buttered microwavable dish, poke the yolk a few times with a toothpick (to stop the steam explosion), and microwave for 45 seconds. It won’t be as crispy as a skillet version, but it’ll be ready before your toast finishes.
I did this once at 6 AM while still half-asleep. Poked the yolk? Nope. The egg looked like a deflated football, but it tasted fine with ketchup. Sometimes, imperfections are just breakfast’s way of telling you to chill out.
