Microwave Eggs

The quickest non-messy way to cook an egg in a microwave.

How quick?

Less than 2 minutes, that is the time the frying pan takes to become hot enough to drop the egg.

What do you need?

• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp butter / oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste

How do you go about it?

Take a tbsp of oil or butter (if butter melt the butter) in a microwaveable mug and swirl the mug so that the walls of the mug get coated with oil / butter. Break and drop in the egg. With the help of a fork pierce the egg yolk (the yellow portion). Make sure you pierce the yolk well enough, else the yolk will go boom in the microwave. Cover the mug with a plastic cling wrap keeping a small opening on one of the sides.

Microwave the mug for a minute and a half to minute in the microwave at 75% power.

Remove from the microwave, let it stand for a minute and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and relish.
