Microwave eggs?



Recommended Posts

Since I'm not much of a morning person, I tend to eat Breakfast once I get to work, and oatmeal and Protein Drinks are getting a little boring! I've seen this little plastic device at the grocery store that essentially lets you make an omelette in the microwave, but eggs are one of the things that I'm a little leery of zapping. Has anyone tried this, or microwaving eggs in general?

rinse a tea-cup out with cold Water, don't dry it, break an egg in to it and prick the yolk. Cover & microwave for around 30 seconds (depending on egg size and microwave power) for a quick, easy and mess free poached egg.

you can also make mini baked omlets in a muffin tin at home. Bake them in the oven if you have a 6 muffin tin and only want to make 4 just fill the empty ones with Water. Then just microwave at work!! I make mine with lost of vegges its always something different!

Sure do microwave eggs and egg beaters. I put mine in a mugg with a squirt of milk, pepper and zap for 40 seconds, take out, stir, and zap again. Quick and easy. If you are worried about the salmonella...don't be. Salmonella is found on the egg shell, not inside the egg. So, if you wash up after cracking you should have no problems.

I've zapped eggs before in a hurry, and make them for my son often when I don't feel like busting out pans, etc. Not bad at all, you'll be surprised I bet once you try it. They come out really fluffy too. Lol

Yes, I do this quite often for my toddler daughter. Get a plastic bowl (tuperware or whatever), spray with Pam. Add the egg, scramble, add just a touch of milk, scramble and microwave for 1 minute. Wa la, perfect! If you make two eggs, it is slightly longer in the microwave.

If you add too much milk, it will be runny. Just a touch of milk...

Good luck. Let me know who it turns out.

I do mine on the stove. It really doesn't take long. It only takes a couple of minutes for scrambled eggs. Lately, I've been eating an whole wheat english muffin with microwave turkey bacon, cheese, and one egg white. It takes maybe 5 minutes to make. I toast the heck out of the english muffin so it won't get stuck.

Yep, I use the microwave for eggs !

I put 2 small eggs, some rock salt & 45g of cottage cheese. I scramble them, 2 min in microwave stirring every 20 secs until they are cooked but still soft

:smile2:

Love 'em!

Rach.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
