Even better:
First line the dish with thin-sliced ham.
Then you can lift it out and serve it on a plate. - 2/7/12

I was afraid the egg might explode in the oven, but was pleasantly surprised that it just cooked. I did adjust the cooking temp, though. It took about 90 sec. at power 7. Very good/quick breakfast. - 10/14/09

We made this today, with a few variations and it was awesome. We used fit and active egg sub(60 cal for 2 eggs worth) and used "natures promise" low sodium, no fat salsa. and we actually baked it in the toaster oven for 10 min. and it was awesome! will definatley do often! thanks - 1/17/10

I cooked it my first time with 3 eggs in a bowl. One spot kept looking a little runny, so I kept nuking it for more. Well when I cut into it with my fork, it literally launched yolk at my face!

Great recipe, but if you're gonna make any modifications...cook safely, folks! :) - 1/6/12

Quick & Easy but very tasty. Ended up giving mine a very light scramble halfway through cooking to mix all the yumminess together. - 7/25/09

So GOOD, so QUICK. I used only 1 Tbsp of salsa and nuked it for 50 seconds and egg was almost perfect (few seconds less next time for a softer yolk) Put it atop a slice of whole wheat toast. Delicious breakfast in less than 2 minutes! - 2/28/10

Absolutely delicious! I made this with 2 eggs and a slice of provolone cheese. Very satisfying and pleasing. Definitely a new favorite of mine! - 1/15/10

I made this yesterday and it was GREAT! I bragged to my DH about how he missed a great breakfast. I might lesson the salsa to half the amoutn just because it was a lot for salsa then I enjoy, but non the less delicious! - 12/3/09

Super quick and quite good. I need to figure out the time to cook the egg. 75 seconds turned out to be a solid yolk. - 7/10/08

Honestly I didn't think I would like this at all but it's delicious! I'm lactose intolerant so I only used half and ounce of cheese and it's still amazing! I always have salsa at my house so I'll be making this all the time. - 7/1/17

Simple and Delicious! I set the timer for 1 minute, but when I checked it I wasn't convinced that it was fully cooked, so I gave it another 30 seconds - and it was perfect. I love the simplicity of this recipe. I will make this again for sure!! - 2/8/15
