If you are an egg lover like me, you’ve got to try this.
Cook your eggs in the microwave. It’s quick with an easy cleanup and you can adjust the time to cook your eggs just like you like them.
For super easy poached eggs, place one or two eggs in a microwave-safe mug or cup (like a measuring cup), and barely cover them with water – about a half cup. Gently prick the whites and the yolks of the eggs with the tip of a knife so they won’t explode in the oven. Sprinkle a few grains of salt into the bottom of the bowl since salt attracts microwave energy and helps to cook the eggs evenly. Cover the cup with Saran Wrap and (for soft boiled eggs) cook for 50 seconds. Let stand for another 30 seconds, dip the eggs out with a slotted spoon, place them on a piece or two of buttered toast and dig in. By the way, each microwave cooks differently, so adjust the cooking time to exactly suit your tastes.
Imagine, a hearty breakfast with eggs and toast in less than two minutes and no pots and pans to clean – just one cup or bowl. Try it and you’ll become a believer too.
