Ingredients
-
1 large egg
2 oz deli meat (I like ham or turkey)
1 oz cheese (I use slices, but you could also use shredded)
1 english muffin (recipe calories are for Thomas' Better Start High Fiber muffins)
non-stick spray, pinch salt, pepper or other seasoning you like
Ziplock one-cup snack size container (or a glass bowl, or ceramic dish - basically I use this cause it makes the egg a perfect round shape to fit the muffin - so in this case - size matters!)
Tips
Directions
Spray the Ziplock cup with cooking spray. Crack egg into the container and add your salt, pepper or other seasoning and beat with a fork until scrambled. Pop in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Meanwhile, split english muffin and pop in toaster.
Take out egg (it will still be runny) and top with cheese and meat. Pop back in microwave for another 30 seconds.
Grab a papertowel or napkin and take the hot, toasted muffin out of the toaster. When the egg beeps, grab it out of the microwave and dump the contents on top of the muffin. Sandwich and GO!

I'm pretty sure that SP wouldn't have featured this recipe if microwaving in a plastic dish was so deadly. Don't breathe in the air outside either, it also causes cancer. In other news, recipe was quick, easy, and great to make something better than McD's for breakfast! Thanks for sharing!!! - 2/1/12

I try to make a muffin pan of these at the beginning of the week and with a family of 5 they don't last long! Just spray the muffin pan; add beaten eggs, veggies, salsa, meat, etc and bake. Then store in a baggie or airtight container and warm as many as you need, when you need them! Yummy! - 6/12/12

I haven't made this yet, but wanted to clear something up for other readers: the plastic-in-microwave carcinogen scare is false information, just a rumour that got passed around in various incarnations, mainly through chain forwarded emails. :)

My husband and I make these at least twice a week; however we use a glass storage container for two reasons - 1. It doesn't need any cooking spray or butter and is still fairly easy to clean and 2. Isn't there a whole controversy over heating food in plastic, (BPA) we just try to avoid it. - 12/9/11

Micro Egg doesn't appeal to me. I stove top cook an egg in the a.m. or night before and place in a container with a slice of cheese and slice of canadian bacon. Once at work i toast my english muffin and a few seconds in the micro to warm the egg, bacon and cheese.. my cal count is > 279 though. - 1/21/12

I’ve made this breakfast sandwich for years just like this. You don’t need to use the plastic just spray a microwavable dish the size of the muffin. You can also make it come out as poached egg. Hint: cover the dish and when you hear the second pop of the egg (45sec+/-) it’s done perfectly. Boom! - 3/14/12

I bought a microwave egg mcmuffin maker at Walmart for less than $4.00 it's reusable and in section with appliances perfect size for on muffins. I don't scramble my egg to make it more like the fast food version. I use Kraft lowfat cheddar cheese. large egg and skip the bacon. easy. cheap. less cal! - 12/7/12

NEVER USE A PAPER TOWEL OR NAPKIN TO REMOVE ANYTHING FROM A HOT TOASTER. EITHER ONE MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE QUICKLY. Use WOODEN TONGS INSTEAD.I no longer do the ham added I tablespoon Salsa on muffin less Sodium - 12/9/11

Hey Nora - Thanks for specifying this. I never use the paper towel to actually remove the toast, just to wrap the sandwich in to take it to go!

With slight variations I have made such a breakfast sandwich for years.
Instead of a whole egg, I use one or two whites (depending on the egg size) & I skip the ham. Be sure to spary the cup with a butter spray - eggs stick!
Such a sandwich carries this gal through until noontime!

I use the stove top myself and just as quick. Non-stick pan. Pop the toast, English muffin, or bagel into the toaster. By the time it pops up, I have scrambled my egg. I never used processed 'fake' cheese slices-always the real stuff, or I will use one of the garlic and herb cream cheese spread. YUM - 2/20/13

I have teen boys and use this recipe frequently to pass them something they can eat quickly when they are running late. I also enjoy it myself now and then. Feels like a hardy breakfast even though it is fast and can be made light and healthy. Keeps us all out of the McDonald's drive through! - 2/10/13

Wait, cooking an egg in a microwave like that actually works? I never knew. So you just pour the egg in a small bowl, mix it up, and nuke it for 60 seconds and the consistency turns out alright?
Edit: Just made it today. Didn't make a mcmuffin, but just scambled and microed the egg. Worked great - 7/11/12

This is awesome! I had no idea you could microwave eggs, and it turns out really well. I use turkey instead of ham, and add a little baby spinach to the egg after scrambling it. Super yummy and way healthier than the "Jimmy Dean D-lights" I used to keep in my freezer for time-crunched mornings. - 5/2/12

I'm still alive and well (over 70) with a low cholesterol, eat an egg every day, and most of my "white meat" is the "other white meat-pork." This is fast, but altho I have eaten microwaved eggs, I prefer "cooked in a pan," either poached or fried." The Omegas are stored in fat and we need them. - 3/14/12

With 803mg of sodium and 216mg of cholesterol and so Healthy for you Deli meat, What a deal.
You might as well go to Micky D's. I also like how this web site promotes Pork. One of the worst things for a diet,not to mention the fact that pigs do not chew of the cudd there for the meat is poison. - 3/14/12
