Easy Poached Eggs with the Microwave

I bought a container used to make poached eggs, but it was kind of annoying so I don't use it anymore. I heard that you could make them in a microwave so I made it my own way.

If you microwave for 1 minute, the yolk will harden (in my microwave anyway). 50-60 seconds is best. Adjust the time as needed.
There is a possibility that the egg will explode. Please follow the heating time and ingredient amounts properly. Recipe by *seren*
