Microwave Over Easy Eggs Recipes

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.

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.

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.

MICROWAVE SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Use a fork to beat together the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe jug. Cook in the microwave on High for 30 seconds, then beat again and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
• Beat again, breaking up any lumps of egg. Microwave for another 15 seconds, then beat again; the eggs will be loose at this stage so serve them straightaway if this is how you like them. If you prefer your eggs a little firmer, microwave for a further 15 seconds, beat, then serve.
