"This is a recipe that I posted to another site many years ago. The recipe has served me well over the years and I wanted to share it here. I have been poaching eggs in the microwave for many years. For me this is the best way to prepare poached eggs for 2. It is quick, easy and almost foolproof. Please make sure you use a toothpick to pierce the yolk before cooking or it will explode!"
