This microwave fried egg recipe is the closest you’ll get to a pan fried egg without frying it. It’s super easy and it only takes 1 minute! It was one of the first microwave recipes I learned as a university student, simplified from the microwave scrambled egg recipe shown to me by my big sis.
As a side note – you’ve got to be careful before cooking microwave fried egg. When cooking whole eggs in the microwave, always pierce the raw egg to break its skin a few times and cover it with a paper towel. I discovered early on that if this step is skipped, microwave eggs become pretty egg-cited and will tend to splatter themselves all over the interior of the microwave.
So to cook fried eggs in the microwave follow the steps below…
You’ll need
Microwave safe bowl or cup
Sheet of paper towel
1 fresh egg
1 Tablespoon of cooking oil (any type is fine)
Method
Swirl the oil around in the bowl
Crack the egg into the bowl and break the yolk (you can also add a little salt, pepper, tomato sauce or other enhancements at this step.
Cover with a kitchen towel. (It is very important to break the yolk and cover as intact eggs will pop like a balloon when microwaved)
Place in the microwave oven on full power for 1 minute.
Stand for 1 minute to allow the microwave fried egg to settle down a bit.
Serving
To serve, place the microwave fried egg onto a nice buttered bed of toast perhaps with some microwave crispy bacon. If for any reason you didn’t add any sauce before you started cooking, then now’s the time to do so. I like to add a blob of tomato ketchup or a few drops of hot pepper sauce to jazz it up some.
Microwave Fried Egg Tips
If your microwave fried egg is too runny for your liking, add another 10 seconds to the cooking time. Don’t overdo it though because it will end up looking like something which could only be considered fit for the bin.
If you prefer a softer yolk in your microwave fried egg, reduce the cooking time to no less than 40 seconds unless you’re trying to prepare a slightly warm raw egg recipe. I personally do not advise this due to the risk of food poisoning. Some further health info about eggs can be found here.
