How to prepare sunny-side-up eggs in the microwave?
To prepare sunny-side-up eggs in the microwave, grease a dish or deep plate with oil. Then crack the egg into the dish and gently pierce the yolk with a knife to prevent it from exploding during heating. Place the dish in the microwave and cook the egg for 30 seconds on high power. After this, let the egg rest for a minute to firm up. If you prefer a firmer yolk, you can add another 10 seconds.
A fantastic accompaniment to sunny-side-up eggs is sautéed spinach with garlic. You can also sauté tomatoes with mushrooms and onions. Create small gaps in the vegetable mixture to crack the eggs into. This way, the dish will taste wonderful and look impressive. Sunny-side-up eggs can also be the star of a nutritious breakfast sandwich: with wholemeal toast, avocado, tomato, and other favourite toppings.
