Well, I still have no kitchen! It’s not so bad actually, we have an electric wok, a microwave, a toaster and a george foreman grill so whilst coming up with healthy recipes is a challenge but totally do-able. In fact, after 4 weeks we’ve yet to resort to a micro ready meal {#impressed}.
Since it was a bank holiday on Monday, I fancied a bit of a simple, yet comforting breakfast that was QUICK (bank holiday’s are for tea, toast and magazines in bed if you ask me!) – only one thing could match that description – poached egg on toast!
But since we don’t have a hob, I had to turn to my humble microwave to sort it out – I know there are a lot of people who think the microwave is the devil (and before moving, I barely used one) but I’ve been doing my own research and found some interesting results – but that’s for another post.
Anyway, this is a very simple, 1 minute poached egg recipe – perfect if you’re in a rush or if you don’t fancy the fuss that poached egg usually brings (or if you’re like me and can never seem to make it work!).
What you need:
1 egg
Vinegar
Salt
A microwavable mug (< seriously, you don’t want one that will crack!)
A slotted spoon
The you simply fill a mug half way up, add salt and vinegar, crack your egg, gently pierce the yolk and pop in the microwave for a minute! Remove the egg with a slotted spoon, making sure the water is drained off and serve on warm, buttery toast.
DONE! The perfect busy girl breakfast.
This reminds me of the old story of the person who went to the doctors and he said “take this medicine and you’ll be cured in a week”. When asked how long if I don’t take the medicine his answer was “about seven days”. My point? I love poached eggs, and who doesn’t have the couple more minutes it takes the old-fashioned way. Really! If you are that short of time do what my grandad did for most of his life – down it raw 🙂

Oh, and PS, I love these blogs. Your kitchen set-up sounds like mine, right down to the George Foreman Grill – which I love…
@Peter to be fair, I couldn’t do it the old fashioned way – I have no cooker! Boo! x
