    I wonder if there are other methods of preparing eggs

    Hmmm...I wonder...
    Anyways... I need something quick to grab, go and eat. I can't whip up some scrambled eggs or an omlet at work. Unless you know how to prepare those using a microwave? I'm not a huge fan of "re-heating" scrambled eggs or omlets.
    Thanks for you wise input though. :wink:

    I learned how to microwave a "fried" egg. It takes about a minute in the microwave in a shallow bowl with wax paper over it.

    Why don't you poach the eggs instead? You are not using oil and can cook it which ever way you like, hard or soft. During my weekend brunches I like to place my poached eggs on dry toast and a side salad.

    If they are gooey, you didnt boil them long enough.

    Or you didn't describe them properly and you just don't like hard boiled eggs & chose to describe them as gooey.

    If you make sure to cook them longer they shouldn't be gooey at all.

    Ok, so my nutritionist insticts tell me I NEED hard boiled eggs. Good protein..yada, yada, yada. My problem is, I can't stand the texture of them. I can deal with the taste, but the texture just reminds me of eating a gooey, smelly glob of grossness. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas to make this better? Thanks!

    why do they have to be hard boiled? hard boiled eggs are nasty as hell. Just eat them however you like eggs. Over easy, in my case. or soft boiled. Or anything.

    nutritionally there should be no difference between any egg prep so if she thinks you need to eat them, just eat them how you like.

    Oh I just saw your response that you need to take them to go. Why? Eat eggs at night if you're lacking in eggs, have something else easy to grab in the morning? But yeah you CAN microwave eggs, I'm told. But assuming the nutritionist wants you to have protein + health fats you could always just have some protein powder and nuts.

    otherwise, if I MUST eat a hard boiled egg, chopping it up and mixing in a little seasing/salad dressing helps.

    YOU NEED TO MAKE MINI CRUSTLESS EGG QUICHE CUPS.

    TAKE SOME EGGS OR EGG SUBSTITUTE, ADD TO A BOWL WITH CHOPPED VEGGIES AND/OR MEAT (I LIKE BELL PEPPERS, MUSHROOMS, SPINACH AND BACON OR HAM) AND SHREDDED CHEESE, MIX AND THEN POUR INTO MUFFIN TINS, BAKE AND ENJOY. THEY TASTE FINE RE-HEATED IN THE MICROWAVE.

    Sorry for the caps. I just felt like this information needed to be yelled :indifferent:

    I cook veggies and cool them. I beat eggs into them and bring it to work. I microwave in this:

    But a greased mug works well. I think I got it at Target. Works very well. HTH.

    No, I guess if you are scrambling eggs or frying people use PAM or some other cooking spray...
