This is now my newest friend and I can't tell you how happy I am to have found it. I love that I don't have to dirty a pan to make my eggs in the morning. Make sure you don't leave them in too long though or they will get rubbery, but they still taste good. I will get this down to a science before I am done! Thank you for sharing this Dreamer!

Sorry Dreamer, haven't been able to make this work for me, have tried them both ways, with butter and with water, both turned out hard boiled even at 30 seconds can't get nice "dunkers" turned out half hard , half soft.

 

Review by Derf

This is a real help for me when I am working because it takes just a minute to make breakfast. I use it all the time and continue to do so. The cheese is really good on these!

Review by BabyKay

I have always been intimidated by making poached eggs on the stove and was very happy to find your microwave recipe. We enjoyed the eggs made with the butter and a little salt and pepper. This is a very tasty way to make eggs and much less clean up then when frying or scrambling eggs. Thank you honey for sharing the recipe! Made and reviewed for RecipeZazz's Recipebook Tag Game in the Game Forum.
