That sounds really good! So you just crack the egg into the bottom of the mug and it cooks through in that little time? Do you allow any time between the rounds of egg cooking - like do you leave it in for 30 seconds or something and then restart it?
I want to try it!
This morning I had a whole wheat English muffin with peanut/almond/flax/pumpkin seed butter. Yummy!0 -
I make an egg sandwich like this every day for lunch. I cook my egg in the bottom of a Corelle cereal bowl. It cooks perfectly in exactly 1 minute and slides out fairly easily
I top mine with cream cheese and sometimes a piece of lean deli ham 0 -
bump! I love this

No. I eat the yolks to bump up my fat to hit my macros. Just adjust the time and it should be ok0 -

It's all about the yolk. My omelettes tonight will have WHOLE eggs!0

Similar process here but I use whole grain sandwich thins and a piece of canadian bacon and american cheese. 3 egg whites. Comes in at about 200 calories. Add one or more yolks if you like and still have a manageable calorie count. Also it travels well. I take the cooked eggs and other ingredients to work. Egg w/bacon goes in the micro, bread goes in the toaster and cheese added just before eating.0

Why? Almost all the nutrients of an egg are in the yolk - eat the whole thing!0 -
i rub the bowl/mug w/ a little olive oil first so the egg doesn't stick (once it sticks, its tough to scrub out). also, I like to toast the bread. so for me that would add a minute or 2 (because english muffins take a long time to toast properly. aslo, I add hot sauce or some other condiment. trying to get it as close as possible to the ultimate:

Did you ever try eating egg sunny side up without the yolk? It's very sad experience.0 -
I tried this today! I even forgot to spray the mug, and the egg still came out just fine.
It would have been better with cheese (we didn't have the kind I like in the fridge today), but it was really yummy and totally reminiscent of my favorite Dunkin Donuts bacon, egg and cheese on English muffin (but much better for me with just two eggs, sea salt and cracked pepper and a whole wheat English muffin). I just did an egg and English Muffin sandwich today, but tomorrow I'm going to try it with a slice of cheese too.
Thank you so much for posting this!0 -
Cooking the eggs in a coffee cup is a great idea--definitely going to try that! I'll put butter on the English muffin, but looking at your diary I'll save 20 cals by using large instead of extra large eggs, another 20 by using a Thomas's light English muffin, and 33 by dropping back to one slice of bacon (my brand is 27 cals/slice), so the calories won't be too far off if I stay under a tablespoon of butter.0

I love my egg sandwich breakfasts. I usually use a very small egg pan, and haven't microwaved my eggs in quite a few years, but meant to re-try this. I bought some tiny silicone baking bowls, just for this purpose. Now you have inspired me to try it.
Another great addition is some Turkey Sausage. Found some pre-cooked for 40 calories a piece (serving size is 2 pieces but one was fine for an egg sandwich). I've been using sandwich thins or a tortilla for my sandwiches.
And with regard to yolks and whites, I love yolks but have been known to use 1 complete egg and two extra whites for some extra protein and volume.0 -
I know what I will be having for breakfast this weekend 0

Awesome Idea Im gonna have to try that0

Bump! Thanks for posting!0

I have microwaved egg on rye bread some mornings, plenty of pepper and it's good to go, quick and easy and less calories than a fried egg.0
-
That looks easy enough. I wonder how it would cook if you crumbled cooked bacon into the egg prior to microwaving.0
