Chef's Note

A splash of water turns microwave eggs from rubbery to soufflé-fluffy.

Ingredients
  • 1 whole English muffin

  • 1 large Egg

  • 30 g Egg white

  • 22 g Cheddar cheese slice

  • 1 g Unsalted butter

  • 250 ml Orange juice

Instructions
  • 1

    Slice 1 English muffin in half. Toast the halves in a toaster for 2 minutes until golden brown.

  • 2

    Grease the inside of a microwave-safe mug (approximately 8 cm in diameter) with 1g of unsalted butter to prevent sticking.

  • 3

    Crack 1 large egg and add 30g of egg white into the greased mug. Add 5 ml of water, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

  • 4

    Whisk the egg mixture vigorously with a fork for 30 seconds until completely combined and slightly frothy.

  • 5

    Microwave the mug on high (1000W) for 50 to 60 seconds. Watch closely as the egg puffs up; it is done when the top is set but still moist.

  • 6

    Place 1 cheddar cheese slice (22g) on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.

  • 7

    Use a fork to gently slide the cooked egg patty out of the mug and place it directly onto the cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt it.

  • 8

    Top with the remaining English muffin half to close the sandwich.

  • 9

    Pour 250 ml of orange juice into a glass and serve immediately alongside the hot sandwich.
