🔹 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the plate:
Lightly grease your microwave-safe plate with a drop of olive oil or spray (optional), or simply splash a few drops of water on it to prevent sticking. - Crack the egg:
Crack your egg onto the plate carefully so the yolk stays intact. - Cover it:
Place a microwave-safe cover or another plate on top. This prevents splattering. - Cook it:
Microwave the egg for 25–30 seconds on high power.- For a softer yolk: 25 seconds
- For a firmer yolk: 30–35 seconds
- Check and serve:
Let it cool for a few seconds, then gently remove it with a spatula. Add salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Add a spoonful of water before covering to create a steam effect, mimicking a fried egg’s texture.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt before cooking for even seasoning.
- For extra flavor, top with avocado slices or chili flakes after cooking.
🧠 Why It’s Healthier
Traditional fried eggs often require oil or butter, which adds unnecessary fat. This microwave method:
- Uses little to no oil, reducing calories.
- Preserves the nutrients in the yolk since cooking time is minimal.
- Produces no greasy pans — perfect for quick clean-up.
⚡ Bonus: Portable Breakfast Hack

In short:
This 30-second trick gives you all the flavor and satisfaction of fried eggs — without the pan, the oil, or the wait. It’s fast, clean, and surprisingly delicious. Try it tomorrow morning and you’ll never go back to the frying pan again! 🍳✨
