Wheat Free Microwave Poached Egg

A perfectly poached egg has always felt like a restaurant trick, but this microwave method makes it genuinely foolproof at home. With just water, a splash of white vinegar, and a single egg, the ingredient list is about as clean and simple as it gets — naturally free of wheat without any substitutions needed. The vinegar helps the white set up neatly around the yolk, giving you that classic, diner-style result without a pot of simmering water or any special equipment. Cooking at 50% power is the real secret here, coaxing the white to turn fully opaque while keeping the yolk soft and runny in the center. It's the kind of technique that sounds too easy to work until you try it and realize you'll never go back to the stovetop method. Serve it over roasted vegetables, a grain bowl, or just on its own with a little salt and pepper for a quick, satisfying meal that checks every box.
