Eggs, a versatile and nutritious breakfast staple, can now be enjoyed in a revolutionary way: microwave-fried eggs. As Diane from Best Recipe Box reveals, this method transforms the traditional breakfast experience, offering a quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious alternative to the classic fried egg.
To achieve these ‘egg-cellent’ results, you’ll need a medium microwave-safe bowl, which should be lightly oiled before cracking in your large egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and don’t forget to pierce the egg yolk with a sharp knife to prevent potential ‘poppage’ during microwaving.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate, ensuring the yolk remains moist and the whites cook evenly. For a single egg, microwave on high for 30 seconds, followed by a one-minute break. Check the egg’s readiness, and if necessary, continue microwaving in 15-20 second intervals until it reaches your desired doneness. For two eggs, follow the same steps, but start with a one-minute microwave time rather than 30 seconds.
Whether you’re cooking for one or two, this microwave-fried egg method is a culinary game-changer. Enjoy the convenience of a ‘fried’ egg without the hassle of frying, and start your day with a protein-packed, healthy breakfast in just a matter of minutes.
