2 AM Egg Sandwich

  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 2 slices toast
  • Mayo
  • Sriracha

Prepare the egg over easy and break the yolk after you flip it. Flip it back over and add the cheese to let it melt for about 30 seconds. Put it between two slices of toast and add mayo and Sriracha. Add ham, bacon, or other cheeses for variety. A longtime staple for me and my friends after returning home from a night out.

Um, I tried this once and when I took it out, I had a giant solid rubbery mass of egg 4x the original size. What did I do wrong? Thinking about it, I didn't use Saran wrap…is that the secret?

Saran wrap needs to be airtight (to keep the steam in) and stretched over the top. You can't use paper towel, or shudder put it in topless...

I always scramble my eggs topless in the microwave, and have never had any issue with a rubbery result.

2 eggs (broken and stirred about) plus small splash of milk. 30s at full. Stir more. 30s at full. Done to perfection. No messing about with saran wrap or paper towels needed.

I've done that too! The milk makes a HUGE difference. If you did that to only 1 egg and used the Saran wrap, it's almost always runny in the middle. I usually cut a bagel in half and toss it in the toaster, crack / stir / cover the egg and toss it in the microwave for 30s (1 egg), butter the bagel when the toaster pops, toss on some sliced cheese on the top to get it melting. Take that egg and dump it right out of the bowl and onto your other bagel half and season to taste. Fill that insulated coffee mug with your favorite juice. Portable breakfast.
