It might sound strange, but you can actually fry, poach, scramble, and make egg omelettes in the microwave in a matter of minutes. You don’t need to fiddle around with pans —simply pop your eggs in the microwave, pierce the yoke, and voila! Here’s what you can try.
Fried Eggs
To make fried eggs, simply melt some butter or margarine on a microwavable dish. When it’s melted, break an egg onto it and pierce the yolk. Microwave on full for about 40-60 seconds, or until the white is cooked through.
Poached Eggs
Poached eggs in the microwave really can be as good as on the pan! Simply pour boiling water into a microwavable bowl and add a pinch of salt. Break the egg into the water and microwave for around 30 seconds, or until the white is solid. Serve with salt and pepper.
Scrambled Eggs
Whisk your eggs in a microwavable bowl and season with salt and pepper, and then microwave for around 30 seconds before serving. Top tip: take the scrambled eggs out just before they look ready. They will continue to cook outside the microwave.
Omelette
Break eggs into a greased tray, whisk, season with salt and pepper, and cook in the microwave for 45-60 seconds.
