My Love for Breakfast
Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day. There’s just something so comforting about starting the day with a delicious and satisfying meal. And while I love experimenting with different breakfast recipes, there’s one method that never fails to impress me – microwaving an egg in a ramekin. It’s quick, easy, and results in a perfectly cooked egg every time. Today, I’m going to share with you my step-by-step guide on how to microwave an egg in a ramekin.
Gather Your Ingredients and Tools
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s make sure we have everything we need:
Prepping the Ramekin
The first step is to lightly grease the inside of the ramekin with Pam or cooking spray. This will prevent the egg from sticking to the dish and make it easier to clean up later. Just a quick spray around the sides and bottom should do the trick.
Cracking the Egg
Next, crack the egg into the greased ramekin. Be careful not to get any shell into the dish. If you prefer your egg scrambled, you can give it a quick whisk or beat with a fork until the yolk and egg white are fully combined. If you like your yolk intact, simply leave it as is.
Seasoning to Taste
Now it’s time to add some flavor to your egg. I like to sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top, but feel free to get creative with your seasonings. Try adding some herbs like chives or thyme, or even a sprinkle of grated cheese for an extra indulgent treat.
Covering and Microwaving
Once your egg is seasoned to perfection, it’s time to cover the ramekin with a microwave-safe plate. This will help contain the steam and ensure even cooking. Place the ramekin on the microwave-safe plate and pop it into the microwave.
Finishing Touches
After microwaving, carefully remove the plate from the microwave. Be cautious as the ramekin and plate may be hot. Let the egg sit for a minute to cool before handling.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can garnish your microwaved egg with some chopped herbs or a sprinkle of cheese. Or you can enjoy it as is – the choice is yours!
