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

Recipes »  Breakfast  »  Sandwiches and Wraps

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.

"Very good and satisfying- especially for being so quick. Will definitely have this for breakfast before work- I'm a nurse and need something that will stay with me for a while. Thank you! Also the mustard tip was pretty good." - Elliebell101

Original recipe makes 1
2 wholeEggs; beaten
1 tablespoonMilk; Low fat
3 tablespoonsCheese; grated
salt and pepper; to taste
2 slicesWhole wheat bread; toasted
OR -- English muffin
1 English Muffin; toasted

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

Toast the bread. In a small glass or ceramic dish, beat the eggs; add milk, cheese, salt and pepper. Stir.

Put dish in microwave on high for two or three minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave(see note below). Remove and sandwich between whole wheat toast (for lower-carb option) or English muffin. Skip the toast altogether and eat out of the bowl for no-carbs.

Or, grab a napkin or paper towel on the way out the door, and enjoy.

Notes

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.

Cheese gave it a nice flavor, as did the mustard. I think making it in a frying pan would give more control over the eggs.

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

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.
