Recipe: Microwaving Eggs from The American Egg Board

Hi Dawn,
Here is some information I have that was published by the American Egg Board.
Also, I have had three different brands of microwaves and they each came with a cookbook, specifically for that brand, and all three have directions and recipes for microwaving eggs.
If you did not get a cookbook with your microwave, you could probably call the customer service department for your brand and request one.
Betty Crocker and Better Homes and Gardens are two microwave books that I found in the bookstore, (Barnes and Noble etc.) They have recipes for omelets, quiches, souffles, as well as general directions for scrambled, boiled, poached, etc.

MICROWAVE RECIPES

Fried Eggs

Break and slip 1 egg into each of 2 lightly greased 10-ounce custard cups or a pie plate. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on 50% power just until eggs are almost desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand, covered until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.

Hard-Cooked Eggs

Separate yolks and whites of eggs into 2 lightly greased liquid measures or small bowls. Stir yolks with fork. Cover each container with plastic wrap. Cook separately on 50% or 30% power, stirring once or twice, allowing about 20 to 30 seconds per yolk, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per white. Remove when slightly underdone. Let stand, covered, about 2 minutes. Cool long enough to handle comfortably, then chop or chill until ready to chop.

Poached Eggs

Pour 1/3 cup water into 10-ounce custard cup or small deep bowl. Break and slip in 2 eggs. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on full power about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If necessary, let stand, covered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour off water to serve in custard cup or lift out with slotted spoon. NOTE: For 4 eggs, use 2/3 cup water in 1-quart bowl or baking dish. Cook 1 1/2 to 3 minutes and let stand as above.

Scrambled Eggs

In 10-ounce custard cup, beat together 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons milk with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, until blended. Cook on full power, stirring once or twice, until almost set, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 1 minute. NOTE: All microwave cooking times are based on a full power output of 600 to 700 watts. For a lower wattage oven, allow more time.
