]]> The microwave is often a lifesaver when you have limited time. But did you know microwaves have the potential for cooking meals from scratch? Here are three surprisingly delightful meals you can whip up using just your microwave. 

Microwave Veggie-Packed Quiche

Whisk an egg and milk in a mug, season with salt and pepper, then mix in vegetables, cheese, and optional ham or bacon. Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. This quick, customizable quiche is ideal for breakfast or a speedy lunch.

Microwave Chicken and Rice Pilaf 

Yes, you can cook raw chicken and rice together in the microwave! This dish is a complete meal with protein, carbs, and vegetables. To make it, combine 1/2 cup long-grain rice and 1 cup chicken broth in a microwave-safe dish. Add diced chicken, mixed vegetables, and seasonings. Cover and microwave for 15-18 minutes. Let it stand for 2 minutes before serving, and enjoy. 

Microwave Loaded Baked Potato

This comforting classic is significantly quicker when made in the microwave, but just as good. Pierce a russet potato and microwave for 5-7 minutes, turning halfway. Once soft, cut it open, fluff it with a fork, and top it with cheese, sour cream, chives, cooked bacon, and butter.

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.

Tasty

Microwave baking potatoes give you fluffy baked potatoes in minutes. They are just as nice as an oven-baked potato, although the skin will not be as crispy. If you want to crisp up the skin, you can put it in the oven for about 10 minutes.

]]> Not only are eggs a delicious addition to most meals, but they are also packed full of protein and minerals. If you don’t have much time on your hands to prepare them but still want to get your egg fix, there’s a simple solution. Here are three foolproof ways to prepare eggs in the microwave in minutes.

Scrambled Eggs

To make scrambled eggs in the microwave, simply break two eggs into a microwaveable bowl and beat them together until the yokes are all mixed in with the egg whites. Next, season them with salt and pepper and mix them before microwaving for two minutes on high heat. They’re best served on crunchy toast or in a rocket salad.

Baked Egg

To make poached eggs in the microwave just break an egg into a small microwaveable dish. Try to make sure that the egg fits snugly into the dish. When the egg’s in, pierce the yolk so that it doesn’t explode and cook the egg in the microwave for about one minute. Once the egg white has turned white, serve with some salt and pepper.

Scrambled Eggs

To make scrambled eggs in the microwave, simply break two eggs into a microwaveable bowl and beat them together until the yokes are all mixed in with the egg whites. Next, season them with salt and pepper and mix them before microwaving for two minutes on high heat. They’re best served on crunchy toast or in a rocket salad.

Baked Egg

To make poached eggs in the microwave just break an egg into a small microwaveable dish. Try to make sure that the egg fits snugly into the dish. When the egg’s in, pierce the yolk so that it doesn’t explode and cook the egg in the microwave for about one minute. Once the egg white has turned white, serve with some salt and pepper.
