I think we'd all agree that our pandemic diets have been less than desirable. We've had too many English muffins in the house (which, when buttered, keenly interest Lily as shown here). Too many carbs, too much comfort food...it all results in pandemic pounds!
In an effort to eat more protein and feel fuller longer, I have been enjoying my new favorite microwave egg! Some (namely my daughter LOL) are not impressed with the cooking method but let me tell you, microwave eggs are amazing! And better yet, they can be made in a coffee mug. No skillet in sight!
Here's what you do:
Coat the inside of a mug with cooking spray. Crack one egg right inside the mug. Add just a splash of water (you CAN add milk but water actually results in a fluffier egg, and I never have milk in the house anyway). Stir with a fork. Cover the cup with a paper towel in case bits of egg splash out during cooking. Microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. There should be no liquid in the bottom of the cup. The egg will be perfectly cooked! (In fact, it would fit great on the top of an English muffin, but I digress...)
Sprinkle with a bit of cheese and, if you're lucky enough to have some extra bacon bits, add them, too. The egg turns out fluffy and yummy, and the cooking spray makes for easy clean-up.
Microwave eggs make a great snack or lunch and will help you feel fuller longer. Lily says: Don't skip the cheese!
Happy Feline Friday!
