Microwave Over Easy Eggs Recipes

MICROWAVE OVER EASY EGGS

Steps:

• Take a shallow microwave-safe plate and preheat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
• Add the butter or oil to the preheated dish.
• Crack the egg onto the hot dish. Season the egg with pepper and salt.
• Cover the dish to cook the egg evenly on the top and bottom by trapping the steam inside the lid.
• Microwave the egg for 45 seconds or until the white on the top of the yolk is partially set.
• Allow the egg remain covered for 30 seconds so that yolk starts thickening and the whites become opaque.
• Carefully remove the lid to allow the steam to dissipate.
• Slide the over easy egg on the serving plate and enjoy.

BASIC MICROWAVED EGGS

Steps:

• Spray microwave-safe container (e.g. mug, ramekin, or egg cooker) with cooking spray or wipe lightly with vegetable oil. Sprinkle a few grains of salt into bottom of container (salt attracts microwave energy and helps to cook egg evenly).
• Break one or two eggs into container. Pierce yolks and whites with fork four or five times to bottom of container (piercing is necessary to prevent "exploding" during cooking). If using a mug or ramekin, cover with plastic wrap, pulling back small area for venting. If using an egg cooker, place lid on cooker base, lining up notches. Twist to secure.
• For Soft Boiled Egg: Microwave on High (100% power) for 30 seconds, or on Medium (50% power) for 50 seconds. Let stand for 30 seconds before removing plastic wrap or lid. If still undercooked, turn egg over in container, cover, and microwave for another 10 seconds, or until cooked as desired.
• For Hard Boiled Egg: Microwave on High (100% power) for 40 seconds. Let stand for 30 seconds before removing plastic wrap or lid. If still undercooked, turn egg over in container, cover, and microwave for another 10 seconds, or until cooked as desired.

MICROWAVE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Spray a large glass bowl with cooking spray. Crack 1 egg into a small ramekin and then pour into the bowl. Whisk egg. Repeat with remaining eggs, whisking well after each addition.
• Cook eggs in a microwave oven for 30 seconds; remove from oven and stir. Continue cooking in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until eggs are almost set, about 3 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.

EASY MICROWAVE POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Pour water into a microwave-safe cup or bowl; add vinegar. Cracks eggs into the cup.
• Cook eggs in the microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds. Drain.

FLUFFY MICROWAVE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Break the eggs into a microwave-proof mixing bowl. Add milk and salt; mix well.
• Pop the bowl into the microwave and cook on high power for 30 seconds. Remove bowl, beat eggs very well, scraping down the sides of the bowl, and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat this pattern, stirring every 30 seconds for up to 2 1/2 minutes. Stop when eggs have the consistency you desire.
