Effortlessly Make Egg Bread in Minutes with Your Microwave!
When mornings are rushed or you need a quick, delightful snack for the kids, this egg bread is a lifesaver! It’s incredibly easy to whip up in a flash. Enjoy the perfect combination of soft bread, moist egg, and savory cheese.
Ingredients
- 5 Morning Buns (or soft rolls)
- 5 Eggs
- 2 slices of Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (cut into smaller pieces or strips)
- 1 pinch of Salt
- A dash of Black Pepper
- A sprinkle of Parsley Flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing 5 soft morning buns. Freshly baked buns will yield the best texture and flavor.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the top part of each morning bun. Create a ‘lid’ by slicing horizontally, leaving the bottom and sides intact, so you can scoop out the inside.
Step 3
Gently scoop out the soft interior of each bun, creating a hollow space. Be careful not to cut through the sides or bottom of the bun, maintaining its shape for filling. Aim for a neat, rectangular cavity.
Step 4
Now, it’s time for the eggs. Crack one egg into each hollowed-out bun. To prevent overflow, it’s best to drain off a little bit of the egg white, keeping mostly the yolk and a small amount of white inside the bun.
Step 5
Season the egg with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Here’s a crucial tip: take a toothpick and poke 2-3 small holes in the egg yolk. This prevents the yolk from exploding like a tiny bomb in the microwave, ensuring a safe and enjoyable cooking process.
Step 6
Add a layer of cheesy goodness! Cut the cheese slices into quarters and place them on top of the egg yolk in each bun. I used a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese for a great flavor combination. The cheese will melt beautifully as it cooks.
Step 7
Now, let’s cook them in the microwave! Place the prepared buns in the microwave and cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. (Personal Tip: If your microwave has a ‘steamed egg’ setting, try using that! At 5 minutes and 30 seconds, the eggs turned out perfectly soft-boiled and fluffy, making them incredibly tender and moist.)
Step 8
Voila! Your delicious no-oven egg bread is ready in minutes. Serve warm with a cup of coffee for a delightful brunch, or with milk for a satisfying kids’ snack. On those busy mornings when you’re running late, these are perfect to make quickly and serve as a hearty breakfast. Enjoy your easy and tasty egg bread!
