Want a quick and tasty breakfast? A microwave egg sandwich is perfect for you! You can make a yummy egg sandwich in just 2 minutes using your microwave. It’s super easy and way faster than cooking on the stove.

All you need is bread, an egg, and your favorite toppings. You can add cheese, bacon, or veggies to make it even better. This sandwich is great when you’re in a hurry or just feeling lazy. Give it a try and see how easy it is!

Exact Ingredients (+ Possible Substitutes)

Here’s what you’ll need to make a tasty microwave egg sandwich:

• 1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
• 1 English muffin (or 2 slices bread)
• 1 slice cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
• 1 tablespoon water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings:

• 1-2 slices cooked bacon
• Sliced tomato
• Spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon salsa

You can swap the English muffin for a bagel or toast. For a lower-calorie option, use egg whites instead of whole eggs. Vegan cheese works well as a dairy-free substitute.

Don’t have bacon? Try ham, turkey, or a veggie patty. Add avocado for extra creaminess or hot sauce for a kick. The great thing about this sandwich is how easy it is to customize!

Remember to use microwave-safe dishes. A small bowl or ramekin works perfectly for cooking the egg. Spray it with oil to prevent sticking.

Instructions

Here’s how to make a quick microwave egg sandwich:

1. Grab a microwave-safe bowl or mug.
2. Crack an egg into it and whisk well.
3. Add a splash of water and season with salt and pepper.
4. Cover the bowl with a paper towel.
5. Microwave for 40-60 seconds until the egg is cooked.

While the egg cooks, toast your bread or English muffin. Once done, butter it if you like.

Add your cooked egg to the bread. Top with cheese, spinach, or other favorites.

For extra flavor, try adding a slice of ham or bacon before microwaving the egg.

Want fluffier eggs? Beat them well and use a larger bowl to give them room to puff up.

Remember, microwave times may vary. Start with less time and add more if needed to avoid overcooking.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Want to make your microwave egg sandwich even better? Try these handy tips:

Spray your bowl with cooking oil before adding the egg. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Add a splash of milk or water to your egg for a fluffier texture. Just a teaspoon or two will do the trick.

Experiment with seasonings! Try a pinch of garlic powder, dried herbs, or hot sauce for extra flavor.

For a perfectly round egg, use a small ramekin or mug instead of a bowl.

Don’t overcook your egg. Start with 30-45 seconds and add time in 10-second increments if needed.

To store leftover egg sandwiches, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

When reheating, remove any fresh veggies first. Microwave the sandwich for 30 seconds, then add the veggies back on.

Make a batch of egg “patties” ahead of time. Cook several eggs in microwave-safe containers, then store in the fridge. Reheat for quick sandwiches all week!
