Ingredients

  • 1 organic or free-range egg 

  • 1/2 a cup of water

  • Microwave-friendly cup and small plate or saucer

  • To serve:

  • 1/2 avocado

  • 1 slice bread of your choice

  • Hot sauce

  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Fill your cup halfway with cold water. Gently crack your egg into the cup and cover with a saucer.

  2. Place the cup in the microwave for 30 seconds. Check your egg for doneness and cook for a further 30 seconds if needs be. Sixty seconds will result in a medium-poached egg, but as all microwaves are different, check every 30 seconds to achieve your perfect egg.

  3. Serve on bread of your choice with avocado and hot sauce.
