How Do I Cook a Fried Egg in the Microwave?

For the easiest method of making fried eggs in the microwave, first, use the appliance to heat a suitable plate on the highest setting for two minutes. Then spread a small piece of butter on the surface and gently break the egg onto the surface. Poke a hole in the top of the yolk with a sharp knife. This is particularly important – otherwise, the fried egg could explode in the microwave. With the stab you are safe. After that, you can reheat the fried egg in the microwave. Set the timer to 45 seconds and the device to the highest level. If the egg white is still too soft for you, microwave the fried egg for 10-second intervals until you like the consistency. It is also a wonderful ingredient for our English breakfast.

Prepare the fried egg in the microwave and serve

By the way, you can always cook eggs in the microwave. Scrambled eggs and even the poached egg also work. A raw egg with a shell explodes against it. Because the electromagnetic waves of the microwave move the water molecules of the egg. Since it has a particularly large number of them, they expand explosively due to the sudden heat input. So extreme that the shell can no longer withstand it. But back to the fried egg from the microwave. You can just salt this to enjoy afterward. Or you can combine it, for example, with oven tomatoes, béchamel sauce, ham, Gruyere, and sourdough bread – and bite into our Croque Madame a little later. You will get to know South Korea’s cuisine if you use a fried egg from the microwave as a garnish for our bibimbap.
