They are silkier than poached eggs because you cook them with a bit of fat. Have you ever had shirred eggs? They are like that. In fact, they may be two names for the same thing.
I took a small glass bowl and smeared a good bit of butter on the bottom, then cracked the egg (and put a knife in the yolk since it was going in the micro), added a touch of salt and some parm. And then I cooked it on 50% power for about a minute. So easy!
I have some silicone ramekins that I got to make unmolded creme brulees. And they were good. But unexpected bonus is that rock at microwaved poached/baked eggs. I've even sometimes separated the yolks and cooked the whites alone for a quarter of the time to ensure the perfect cooked white and just past warmed yolks that I like. Fussier but still pretty simple. And me and the microwave are friends in summer. My oven isn't going back on for a while. Microwave, stovetop, toaster oven or precooked.
Oh Cass, I should have known you'd know what I was talking about!
I have this recipe I want to try out; it's basically an egg baked on top of half an avocado, with parm and bacon sprinkled on top.
I have never baked or poached an egg. My favorite way to eat eggs is deviled, but I usually I eat them fried in butter or bacon grease on top of fried potatoes, or at least with toast, since I want the yolk hot but runny.
Dang, the thunder woke me up. I am a little grumpy about it. It is DARK outside!
Mmm that avocado thingy sounds delish.
I found about shirred eggs about a year ago and those are yum, but the microwave angle would never have occurred to me. Good one, Burrell!
Y'all are weird with your runny yolks, though. Cook mine all the way through, please, and then maybe a little more just in case.
One of my favorite things about being on Atkins is REAL bacon and eggs for breakfast instead of eggbeaters and turkey bacon.
But the runny yolk is delicious on the fried potatoes! Nope, cannot agree.
Oh yeah, I used to microwave a scrambled egg, and it was fine, but I bet doing it as a sub for baked is actually good!
I am out of eggs at home. But I do have bacon, obviously.
One of my fave things has been toast with avocado smooshed on it and a shirred egg on top. I never add butter, Burrell, but instead use a a splash of whipped cream which we often have.
Speaking of eggs and avocados... I want to make some Mexican (or TexMex)-inspired deviled eggs, and I'm thinking about avocado, spices, and pickled jalapenos or lime juice, but probably not both, right?
