Gather Your Ingredients
Before we begin, let’s gather all the ingredients we’ll need for our microwave breakfast sandwich:
For the bread:
For the filling:
Preparing the Bread
Now that we have our ingredients ready, it’s time to prepare the bread:
1. Take one slice of bread and spread butter on one side or spray it with cooking spray. This will prevent the bread from becoming soggy in the microwave.
2. Place the other slice of bread on top of the buttered one, creating a sandwich.
Assembling Your Breakfast Sandwich
With the bread ready, it’s time to assemble our delicious breakfast sandwich:
1. Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl or mug.
2. Beat the egg with a fork or whisk until the yolk and the white are fully combined.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste and give it another quick stir.
4. Microwave the egg mixture for about 45-60 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from overflowing or exploding. The egg should be firm and fully cooked.
5. While the egg is cooking, you can warm up your pre-cooked bacon, ham, or sausage in the microwave for a few seconds, if desired.
6. Once the egg is cooked, take it out of the microwave. It might have puffed up a bit but will deflate quickly.
7. Place the slice of cheese on top of the cooked egg to allow it to melt slightly.
8. If desired, place your pre-cooked bacon, ham, or sausage on top of the cheese.
Microwaving Your Breakfast Sandwich
Now that our sandwich is assembled, it’s time to microwave it to get that ooey-gooey melted cheese.
1. Place the assembled breakfast sandwich in the microwave.
2. Microwave the sandwich for about 30-45 seconds, or until the cheese has melted to your liking. The time may vary depending on the power of your microwave.
3. Check the sandwich to make sure it’s heated through and the cheese has melted. Be careful when touching the sandwich as it may be hot.
4. Take the sandwich out of the microwave and let it cool for a few seconds.

Congratulations! You have successfully made a delicious breakfast sandwich in the microwave. Now, all that’s left to do is enjoy it:
