Eggs are one of the simplest and easiest ingredients to get. Eggs are usually cooked on the stove, and all simple egg recipes don't take long to make. But if you microwave eggs, you can make them much easier and faster. Just follow the simple steps below.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Scrambled Eggs
Step 1. Prepare a mug or small bowl
Make sure the mug or bowl you use is heat resistant. The shape of your bowl will determine the shape of your eggs when they are cooked.
Step 2. Apply oil on the surface of the bowl
You can apply it with a tissue or a cooking brush. Or, you can use melted butter instead.
Step 3. Crack and put the eggs in a bowl
Be careful not to break the egg yolk.
Step 4. Pour 1/3 cup water
Just pour it directly over the eggs.
Step 5. Cover the bowl
Use a heat-resistant cover. This lid will prevent splashes that could contaminate your microwave.
Step 6. Cook the eggs
Place the bowl of eggs in the microwave and cook on the highest heat in your microwave for 35 seconds. When it's cooked, remove the lid from the bowl and check the eggs. Microwaves vary in type and power, so you'll need to adjust the cooking time according to the power of your microwave.
- This method will make the eggs quite cooked. If you want the eggs to be half cooked, lower the microwave to half for 60 seconds. Cook until the egg whites are cooked, but the yolks are still runny.
- If you want the eggs to be fully cooked, cook at maximum power for 60 seconds.
Step 7. Remove the bowl from the microwave
Open the lid of the bowl and pry the edges of the egg with a knife so you can lift it. Serve the eggs as desired.

Method 3 of 4: Omelette
Step 1. Prepare a wide, heat-resistant bowl
Ideally, use a bowl that is wide and has a flat surface, as the shape of the surface will determine the shape of your omelette. The wider the bottom of the bowl, the thinner your omelet will be.
Step 2. Grease the surface of the bowl with oil
Use a paper towel or cooking brush to grease the surface of the bowl with oil. You can also use melted butter instead of oil.

Tips
- Cooking eggs in the microwave is much easier than in a frying pan. This method also uses less oil so it is guaranteed to be healthier. This will certainly save you time especially in the morning when you want something quick.
- If you are cooking more than one egg, you will need to cook it longer.
- You can just sprinkle the seasoning directly on the eggs before cooking them in the microwave. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, grated cheese, or whatever seasoning you like.
- You can also add thin slices of meat such as bacon or sausage as an extra. Just make sure the pieces are small enough.
