How to make an omelet in the microwave:

[DetlefK]

I recently baked and had some leftover beaten egg from the egg-wash. So......


Microwave-omelet
ingredients:
- eggs
- milk
- salt

1.
Crack the eggs in a bowl and thoroughly whisk them until very smooth. Add a dash of milk (about half as much volume as the eggs) and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well-combined.

2.
You need something with a flat bottom, like a soup-dish, or it won't cook evenly. (Optional, cover with baking-sheet.) Pour in some of the eggy liquid, but no higher than half an inch, or it won't cook evenly.

3.
The next step is pretty much trial&error because it depends on your microwave power. Put the dish with the baking-sheet and the egg into the microwave-oven and microwave on medium-to-low setting for 1-2 minutes at a time. Touch the surface of the egg with your finger: If it's solid and scalding-hot, then it's done. (Not hot enough means that there is some runny egg hidden under the surface.)

1. It would be faster to do on a stove top.

2. Or, just drop a bit of cheese and 1-2 eggs into a small baking dish and press start.

3. Have You Ever Bought The Product Called 'Just Crack An Egg'?....

Works great in microwave!!! I learned how to replicate the product & now I make my own using a container I saved from the original product.

I dice up ham or a breakfast sausage. I added diced onion, pepper & tomato. I throw in some hash brown potato & cheese and then add an egg just like in the original store bought product. I experiment with spices and different cheeses for different tastes. It works great just like the store bought one.

Try it out. I think you'll like it.

4. I'd only recommend that if all you have is a microwave

Otherwise, the stovetop will do a much better job because you can see when the center is not quite set and add the cheese and other filling items you prefer. Enclosing the egg around the filling will hold in heat and finish cooking the egg.

The microwave would give you unscrambled scrambled eggs.

5. Oh that sounds delicious.
