How to Make Sour Cream Poached Eggs

  1. Place 1/4 cup of sour cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped green onions to the sour cream.
  3. Gently create two wells in the sour cream, ensuring they are deep enough to hold the eggs without breaking the yolks.
  4. Carefully crack two large eggs into the wells, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
  5. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (slightly vented to allow steam to escape).
  6. Microwave at 60% power for 2.5-3.5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency. Cooking time may need adjustment based on your microwave's wattage. Start with the shorter time and check for doneness. Add 30-second intervals until cooked through.
  7. Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for a vibrant touch.
  8. Serve immediately on toasted bread or your favorite breakfast side.
