Every parent needs kitchen skills. Often stay at home parents need them even more. Here's a great way to make eggs in a hurry. You'll need a microwave, an egg and a microwave safe mug or bowl. A typical coffee mug works well. It also helps to have a small amount of butter, oil or cooking spray to help prevent the egg from sticking but it's not essential.
While you only need an egg, you might want to add cheese and something green and leafy. Eggs area great vehicle for getting little ones to eat things like spinach, swiss chard or dandelion greens.
First: Use your oil, butter or cooking spray to very lightly coat the inside of the mug.
Next: Crack your egg into the mug and add any cheese, greens, tomatoes or other stuff you might want.
Then: This is very important, mix the egg well. You can beat it with a fork or simply mix it up thoroughly with a spoon, chopstick or whatever is handy. If you don't your egg will likely explode and spatter itself all over your microwave!
Finally: Place the mug in the microwave and set it for a minute. You may need to adjust for your particular microwave. If the egg comes out soupy try putting it back in for another 15 seconds and if it comes out looking like a kitchen sponge try subtracting 15. Adding ingredients usually requires more cooking time. An extra egg or a particularly large one will almost certainly take longer.
As with all microwave foods, there may be hot spots in the eggs. Make sure you chop them up before giving them to your child and give them a moment to cool to a safe temperature.
