Heather's 3 Minute Eat-on-the-Go Egg Breakfast

100% would make this recipe for Heather's 3 Minute Eat-on-the-Go Egg Breakfast again.

My wife is an elementary school teacher, and also a pretty serious night-owl. Bad combination come 7:30am in the morning, when she often has to rush out the door. We rarely use the microwave for our own meals, but find it very helpful when pressed for time. Here, then, is her simple recipe for a high-protein, high-fiber start to the day.

This is a great quick, easy, nutritous start to a busy day. I did add a bit of mustard for extra taste.

Start to finish -- 3 1/2 minutes, and I can testify that it can indeed be eaten in the car quite safely. Though I've never tried it, my wife claims it's completely satisfying, and that she's isn't hungry until noon or later if she has one of these in the morning. Breakfast for my child, on a school day, in less than 5 minutes! Super!

Good point Rick -- I guess we probably have a less powerful microwave than most and it takes longer.

Tried this one this morning and it was a great breakfast. 3 minutes was way to long in my microwave and the outside edge was rubbery. I did the second one for 2 minutes and it was great. Not only does it taste good but it puts on a show as it puffs up to about inches high while cooking. Keeps you wondering if it is going over the edge but it doesn't.
