1 teaspoons chopped onion
1 teaspoons chopped tomato

POACHED EGGS
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt*
1/4 teaspoon vinegar*
3 large eggs
Preheat on High. Combine the water, salt and vinegar together. Pour 1/3
of the water mixture into each of the preheated sections of the
Omelet/Snack Plate, filling only to minimal fill line. Close Lid and heat the
water for 3 minutes. Break each egg into a small bowl, slip into water
and cook for 1-2 minutes or to desired doneness. Remove the egg with a
slotted spoon. * The salt will promote coagulation and the vinegar will
lower the coagulation temperature resulting in a better poached egg.
