1. 1

   Add 1 teaspoon water to a microwave-safe bowl.

   Crack an egg into the bowl from Step 1, and poke a hole in the egg yolk with a fork or toothpick.

   Cover with a microwave-safe lid or cling wrap and microwave for 30 seconds (timing may vary depending on the power of your appliance).

5. 5

   Microwave for another 30 seconds.

6. 6

   This is a sign that the egg is done!

8. 8

   The yolk is still nice and runny and soft.
