Place the mug in the microwave, and cover it with the microwave safe lid. Then, close the door and microwave the egg for one minute on high. Open the microwave door and remove the carefully lid. The egg white should be firm, but the yolk should still be runny. If the egg white still appears runny even after 1 minute, close the microwave door and add 15 seconds. Check the egg again, ensuring the egg white is not runny. Now that the egg is done, remove the lid carefully, and remove the mug from the microwave. Use a slotted spoon to gently place the egg on a plate or in a bowl. Add a dash of salt and pepper to your perfectly poached egg. Serve as desired.
