Microwaved Eggs
Ingredients
1 tsp (5 mL) butter
2 eggs
For each egg, in a coffee mug, small dessert bowl or ramekin, microwave half of butter at High (100%) for about 15 seconds. Rotate bowls to butter all sides.
Crack one egg in each bowl. Pierce egg yolk with toothpick or fork. Cover with plastic wrap with one corner pulled back for venting , Microwave on Medium high (70%) for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until desired doneness. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes without removing the plastic wrap.
Tips
The microwave recipe here was tested in a 700-watt microwave oven using the following power level designations:
HIGH 100% MEDIUM-HIGH 70% MEDIUM 50% MEDIUM-LOW 30%
Check your oven's instruction booklet to see which settings on your oven relate to these terms. If you use a power level other than those listed above, the cooking times will be affected.
Always use microwave safe cookware in your microwave oven. Glass, ceramic and some plastic cookware are all microwave safe. Plastic cookware gives the most even cooking since it doesn't attract as much heat away from the food as does glass or ceramic.
