10-Min Microwave Egg Sandwich

How to Make 10-Min Microwave Egg Sandwich

1. 1

   Step 1: Warm and butter the English muffins

   Split the English muffins and spread the butter evenly on the cut sides. Place them cut-side up on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 15-25 seconds to warm; set aside.

   For this step

   • 2 piecesEnglish muffins, split
   • 1 tbspunsalted butter
   
2. 2

   Step 2: Whisk the eggs

   Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl or large mug, add the milk (or water), salt, and pepper, then whisk until uniform. This thins the eggs slightly and helps them cook evenly in the microwave.

   For this step

   • 2 pieceslarge eggs
   • 2 tbspmilk (or water)
   • 1/4 tspsalt
   • 1/4 tspblack pepper
   
3. 3

   Step 3: Cook the eggs and melt cheese

   Microwave the whisked eggs uncovered for 30 seconds, then stir or fold and microwave another 20-30 seconds until mostly set but still slightly soft. Place the cooked egg on top of one muffin half, top with a cheese slice and the ham, then microwave the assembly for 10-15 seconds to melt the cheese and warm the ham.

   For this step

   • 2 slicessliced cheese (cheddar or American)
   • 2 slicesthin sliced deli ham (or pre-cooked bacon/turkey)

   Place the egg/cheese/ham stack on the bottom muffin half and cap with the top half. Press gently to compact and let rest 30 seconds so fillings settle and the cheese finishes melting.

   Step 5: Finish and serve

   Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. For grab-and-go, wrap in foil — the sandwich holds its shape and stays warm for travel.
