I love breakfast. It’s the time of day when I can indulge in delicious food and kick-start my morning. One of my all-time favorite breakfast options is a classic egg sandwich. The combination of a warm and fluffy egg with melted cheese and crispy bacon is simply divine.
However, making an egg sandwich from scratch can sometimes be a time-consuming process. That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered a quick and easy way to microwave an egg for a delicious sandwich in just a few minutes. Yes, you read that right – a microwaved egg! It may sound unconventional, but trust me, it works like a charm.
Preparing the Egg
Gather your ingredients
First things first, gather all the ingredients you need to make your egg sandwich. Here’s what you’ll need:
Crack the egg
Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to crack the egg into the microwave-safe mug or ramekin. Make sure to handle the egg with care and avoid getting any shell into the mug.
Add salt and pepper
To enhance the flavor of your egg, add a pinch of salt and pepper into the mug. This simple seasoning can make a world of difference to your sandwich.
Beat the egg
Using a fork or a small whisk, beat the egg until the yolk and white are well combined. This step helps to create a light and fluffy texture for your microwaved egg.
Microwaving the Egg
Cover the mug
Place a microwave-safe plate or microwave-safe lid on top of the mug or ramekin. This will prevent the egg from splattering while it cooks and keeps it moist.
Microwave the egg
Now it’s time to cook the egg. Microwave it on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s power, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
Let it rest
Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the mug from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel. Be cautious as the mug and plate might be hot. Let the egg rest for a minute or two to finish cooking and firm up.
Add the cheese
While the microwaved egg is still hot, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. The residual heat will help melt the cheese, creating a gooey and delicious layer of goodness.
Assembling the Sandwich
Toast the bread
While the egg is cooling and the cheese melts, toast your bread slices to perfection. You can use a toaster or a pan on the stove. Toasting the bread adds a delightful crunch to your sandwich.
Add your favorite toppings
Now it’s time to get creative! Layer your microwaved egg and melted cheese on top of one slice of toasted bread. Add your favorite toppings like crispy bacon, sliced ham, or sautéed vegetables. The choice is yours!
Complete the sandwich
Finish off your delicious creation by placing the second slice of toasted bread on top of your toppings. Press the sandwich gently to make sure all the components hold together.
Voila! You now have a mouthwatering egg sandwich that is ready to be devoured. The microwaved egg is surprisingly fluffy and pairs perfectly with the melted cheese and crispy bacon. It’s a quick and easy breakfast option for those busy mornings when you need something delicious on the go.
So, the next time you’re craving an egg sandwich but don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen, give this microwave method a try. You won’t be disappointed.
