Fried eggs can be cooked perfectly in just 30 seconds without using a frying pan, eliminating mess and reducing calories. The method involves using a microwave, a technique endorsed by food bloggers and home cooks alike.
How to Cook Fried Eggs in the Microwave
According to the One Sweet Appetite food blog, microwave fried eggs are a game-changer. The blog states: "Let me begin by saying, these Microwave Fried Eggs will truly change your life. You think I’m kidding, but I’m not! With just a one-minute cook time, they’ve become my son’s go-to breakfast he can make in the blink of an eye, no joke."
To prepare, spray or rub a little oil on a dish or deep plate. Crack an egg into the dish, then gently pierce the yolk with a knife to prevent it from exploding. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Let it stand for one minute, then check the egg. For a more well-done egg, add 10-second increments until desired doneness is achieved.
Benefits of the Microwave Method
The blog adds: "At our house, we’ve been cooking eggs in the microwave for years. It’s actually one of our favourite methods. It’s pretty much hassle-free, totally foolproof and yields consistent results every time. On top of that, there’s little to no mess." This method avoids the smoke and crispy burnt edges associated with frying pans, and reduces the need for excess oil, making it a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Once cooked, simply serve the egg on toast, bread, or any preferred base. The technique is quick, easy, and ideal for busy mornings or for those seeking a fuss-free cooking experience.
