Poached Eggs

My personal favorite, and the easiest and fastest way too cook an egg.

1 large egg
balsamic vinegar
water

Fill an 8 oz. Microwaveable custard dish half full with water. Add a dash or two of the vinegar and stir. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir again. Carefully crack the egg into the dish, cover. Microwave on high another 30 seconds, or until cooked through.
Makes 1 serving

Note: I always sit the dish on a small plate so it's easy to take out, because it gets super hot. Also, I let it sit for a bit in the microwave while I make some toast, which I eat the egg on/with. I always drink some sort of citrus juice or citrus cocktail with this, and eat it as a breakfast. Sometimes I cook some bacon to eat with it as well.

Mustard Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon ground mustard
paprika to taste

Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate for about an hour and serve chilled.

Note: I served this with grilled chicken tenders with a few different sauces and it was the favorite one!
