Best Keto Microwave Poached Eggs and Bacon
How to Make It
Step 1
Place the sheet of bacon onto a large microwave-safe plate. Cook according to package directions. We used thin precooked bacon, so the time it took to cook in the microwave was 1 ½ minute, and then we added another 15 seconds to ensure the bacon was crisp. Add another 15 seconds at a time as is necessary to make the bacon crispy.
Step 2
Crack one egg into a small ramekin. Add 8 oz boiling water to a 12 oz coffee cup. Add in one tsp of white vinegar. Slowly and gently tip the egg from the ramekin into the boiling water—microwave on high for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Remove the coffee cup from the microwave. Flip the egg over gently with a spoon. Depending on your microwave you may be able to skip this step and still have an egg that is cooked through evenly.
Step 4
Cook for another 15 seconds on high. Remove the egg onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the second egg.
Step 5
Serve the poached eggs with the bacon. Cut the avocado in half. Scoop the flesh out using a spoon. You can leave the avocado like this if you are short on time or cut it into slices. Sprinkle the eggs and avocado with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
