Scrambled eggs in the microwave?

I stir two egg whites in a bowl and cook about one minute, stirring at least once. ( check every 30 secs at least). Then I sprinkle a pit of Parmesan cheese on top. Sometimes I will stir just a bit (1/2 tablespoon) of per cooked bacon bits in the egg before cooking.

Delicious.

I sometimes dice up some Eckrich-style turkey sausage in a shallow bowl, and microwave it for about 30 seconds, then add an egg or two and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, till desired doneness. You can top with a little shredded cheddar, and it is great. The little grease from the sausage coats the bottom of the bowl so it doesn't stick as much. Only one bowl to wash, and super quick.

I make them all the time. It's quick, they do have a bit of a different taste though. Just take them out and mix them every 30 seconds or so until they're done.

If you like egg sandwiches you can make up a bunch on the weekend on the stove top, wrap the sandwich up in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. Then when you are ready to eat them take off the plastic wrap, wrap them in a paper towel and then microwave them for about a minute. I do this so my 10 year old son can make something quick for breakfast. I use bacon, egg and cheese english muffins.

I have an egg sandwich everyday after the gym before work using the microwave. I have a little round glass bowl (about 4-5 inches across) that I spray with olive oil cooking spray. Crack one egg and add a little milk. Stir it up and I cook it for 2 minutes on half power. Comes out great, and fits perfect on my bread since I use the little round bowl.

If you're adding veggies you'll need to cook them first or else they'll still be raw/crunchy

I do this but I dont stir the eggs. I cook them for one minute, then flip them over so it stays in one round piece. Cook for 30 secs more or until done. Then I put it on toast for a filling, low cal. sandwich.
Make sure you don't overcook them or they turn into rubber.

This is what I do. I add whatever veggies I have on hand. I saw the "recipe" in a magazine a few years back. I don't pre-cook my veggies, usually add torn spinach, halved grape tomatoes and chopped broccoli. Oh and some of cheese, usually a sprinkle of parmesan.

YES! Eggs in the mircrowave are my fast way out of the house with a good breakfast in hand. I make them in a mug to get them to fit on a muffin/bagel. Mix the cheese and veggies straight in, pre-cook bacon though but ham works well. I tend to stick with bacon or ham and shake it up with the veggies, seasonings, and cheese. My husband just started making them in a ceranmic bowl - he likes that shape better. I made them in a ramkin the other day and transferred them to a plastic bowl so my kid could take them to school for lunch.

Here is a link with a lot of varieties for eggs in a mug.

Another way is to cook up a batch in a silcon muffin pan in the oven, put them in bowls and eat them all week. You could individualize each muffin cup and have a different breakfast every morning. Think quiche with more variety.

Ok..there is this little container you can get at Walmart...it's meant to make egg patties for breakfast sandwiches. I have found it to make a pretty decent "not runny but not over cooked fried" egg....it takes all of 40 seconds...they're delicious. The container is $2... I like it cuz if the egg ever pops or blows up a bit, it is contained. Of course...a bowl and mug work well too but make sure to cover it =p

im goin to have to go to walmart this weekend and get that to try this microwaved egg idea now

I bring a raw egg, sliced turkey and an english muffin to work every day and just use one of the disposable plastic or paper bowls mix the egg with a little pepper 1min on high and its a perfect size for my english muffin. and it doesnt matter if it sticks to the bowl because you just throw it out.

Just and FYI: Cooking in the microwave kills nutrients in food. Not deplete them , KILLS THEM.

This news was not music to my ears. :sad:

Please feel free to google it if you do not believe it.

I also can't seem to find any research to the claims microwaves kills eggs...

I have never heard this so if it's true I would love to know.... but I am leaning towards microwave eggs are yummy.

Just please please please do not overcook them or use high power. NOTHING will make an office smell worse (maybe fish over cooked in a microwave...)

Eggs are best fried in bacon grease

I do egg whites in the microwave everyday. I make my own egg McMuffin - two large egg whites, thomas english muffin (just the regular one - I don't care for the texture of the multi grain or whatever it is), ff cheese - and a ruby red grapefruit on the side! love this breakfast.

My mom used to do this all the time. Still does I think. I don't eat eggs frequently enough, usually only on the weekend when cooking for more than myself so I stick with the skillet.

I have had eggs in the microwave many times. I just recently found out in my Nutriton class though that using the microwave denatures any protien. So sure sure its quicker but it rids everything of its nutritional value.

All cooking denatures protein. The microwave has no impact on the nutritional value of food.
