I didn't figure out this trick until my 2 kids were grown and moved away -- I buy a pound of pork sausage (add extra sage and/or chili flakes as necessary), pat it all out onto a foil-lined pan and bake it @ 350° for about 20 minutes. I then cut it into 8 pieces then freeze. When I want/need a piece of sausage, I just take what I need and defrost in the microwave. Also do this with italian sausage!

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

Great hack!

[@beverlyc.8175]

I'm enjoying your cooking videos! Appreciate the simplicity and "down home" charm.

[@TheWoodburningWarrior]

I do this all the time without butter and I use a coffee cup!!

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

I used coffee mugs for years. I finally broke down and bought some ramekins. Lol.

[@ArianaThePoetArtist]

I don't have a ramekin.... I have plenty of coffee cups ...The thing is though ...years ago I had one... But I didn't know what it was called. I thought they were just dessert cups....lol......I believe my ex has them now...soooo...coffee cups it'll be for now. I learned two things in this video- that my dessert cups were ramekins...and how to cook "fancy eggs" in the microwave. :) lol

[@TheWoodburningWarrior]

@@ArianaThePoetArtist also remember to spray just a little bit of oil on the bottom because sometimes it does stick. If it sticks just soak it with water. It happens sometimes. There's so many options. You can add bacon bits too

[@ArianaThePoetArtist]

@@TheWoodburningWarrior good to know ! Thanks for the tip :)

[@bethphillips1687]

I make my eggs in microwave also but I use Pam spray instead of butter. I sometimes add a splash of milk to make it a bit fluffier. And I just use the bowl instead of a ramekin but I can see how a ramekin makes the egg rise more. Good video.

[@olivecoleman3814]

Eggs, love them. I put my ramekins into a water bath, Cereal bowl with a little water. Cooks the eggs more gently. I like the sausage idea and the cheese. If you want just poached egg pierce the yolk and put into a water bath and you end up with lovely eggs. cayenne pepper is a good spice to add too.

[@loljokes]

Funny and Fast is putting the eggs in the microwave with the shell! 🤣🤣🤣

[@akontarini]

😂only if you know to clean the microwave really really fast, after the eggs explode😂

[@susie-q96]

I made the egg bites adding green/red peppers and onions. Delicious! I’ll give this a try too. My kind of cooking.😊

[@akontarini]

😋

[@kimgregory2781]

I’d appreciate any quick easy meal cooking ideas anyone wants to share. Not necessarily just carnivore. As I’ve gotten older and am only cooking for one I don’t enjoy cooking like I did when I was raising my family (it took me a long time to stop cooking too much of something). So please share 😊

[@nancypeplau9747]

I make my eggs in a microwave but have never thought to put pepperoni or Jalapeño’s in them! Two of my favorite foods! I cook my egg and put them on an English muffin with a slice of Pepperjack cheese. Delicious

[@lynnew6959]

I follow the same idea and put it in a bowl then eat it on a bun! So yummy!

[@donnaw1835]

Plant based subscriber here. My quick breakfast is overnight oats: 1/3 cup rolled oats, 1tsp cinnamon, 1Tbl ground flax, 1/3 cup raisins, and 2/3 cup soy milk. I heat it in the microwave for 1 min in the morning and then add chopped walnuts and a splash of soy milk. :) 4:29

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

I love overnight oats! I just don’t eat them at the moment. :)

[@akontarini]

[@debrajones7349]

I make this in my mini “Chaffle” maker, b/c my microwave quit on me. Your variation’s look yummy too!

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

I have one of those chaffle makers as well!!

[@akontarini]

😋

[@raffinataonline]

I've done this for years. Quick and easy. If you think that cheese pkg was hard to open, try the GV mozz sticks. You need a knife, scissors, and 15 minutes. 🔪✂️😂

Great idea - having the break in cooking time so it didn't overflow. I love Kerry Gold salted butter😋

[@amritabhattacharyya4882]

[@teresacryer5872]

I would try making them in a muffin tin and freezing them after. Pull a couple out and warm them up as needed.

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

See my other video. :)

[@RitaVernoy]

Live and learn. I will give this a try!

[@Mysticislander02]

Adore your cooking videos, too. Looks delicious! ❤

[@DavidLettvin]

To avoid dealing with trapped bubbles popping and scattering egg through the microwave, I suggest cooking @ 50% power or even using the defrost button if your machine has one.

[@akontarini]

😋

[@stellamc]

I haven't tried cooking eggs in microwave, but this looks easy and delicious. Plus everyone can make it according to their own tastes. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I have done this many times! Have a great day!

[@akontarini]

[@PhilThach]

Looks delicious, Tim! I like it and may make some of those for Heather while she continues to recover from her surgery. I've been making a breakfast casserole for her and cutting it into 6 portions to microwave for her each morning but this looks quicker, easier, and nearly as good. Thank you!

[@tracybishop7792]

I’ve cooked eggs in the microwave for years, but I always put a splash of water in the bottom…to try to keep them from sticking. Butter makes so much more sense! Duh! And adding ingredients, not sure why that never occurred to me before. SMH. These would also freeze well, btw, and heat up quickly when you have even less time to make them! Thanks!

[@deborahr.7696]

Oh, I'm trying this tomorrow morning. Thanks for the hack.

[@cletusrobinson]

I cook 2 yard eggs in a bowl with a broken up slice of cheese, Tabasco Chipotle, possibly my choice of Tony Chacere’s, Lemon Pepper, Slap Ya Mama, celery salt, maybe shrimp, or crawfish. Microwave and eat it right out of the bowl without butter. Sometimes I’ll use a Pampered Chef egg cooker and butter that- one egg in each side, prepared the same way or poached! Be creative and have fun with it!

[@akontarini]

😋

[@exploringplaceshistoryantiques]

Thanks for the video. I tried it this morning! As you said it is super simple and fast. I used an egg, fiesta cheese, a little pepper and a little hot sauce. It was very tasty!

[@akontarini]

😋

Never have tried any of those. Fun stuff.

Thanks! I will try this. I love eggs any way and this does look easy…less mess!

[@sallymoffit3751]

Great cooking for one idea

[@kimgregory2781]

Yes, need more cooking for one ideas.

[@akontarini]

🤗🙂

[@mkmariak]

I find that if I use 50% power and cook it longer, the microwave stops heating in bursts for long enough for the eggs to go down and not overflow.

[@Wifemomnana]

I am glad you mentioned the coffee cup. I will try these and experiment further. I make eggs every day for husband mostly omelettes so this will be kind of cool to try! Thank you tune another timely video!

[@HumbleVoyager]

Hi, Tim! I needed to be reminded not to overlook my microwave. I'll do our eggs tomorrow morning this way, for sure! I think I'll add green onions and ham. Yummy!! Thanks for the video.

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

That sounds good!

[@akontarini]

😋

[@diangallo]

Food network here you come! You could call your segment 80 second meals! It’s better than buying those jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches …and tastes better. I’ve been making these for years, but lazy me beats the eggs in the same ramekin container. Thanks for the demonstration. 👍🏼

Thank you for the advice on making sure the yolk is broken. I laughed out loud when you licked your finger. I was thinking the whole time it is just for you. Have a great day👍👍

[@leniberzins3539]

Great simple idea! I do intermittent fasting so my first meal is 11 am, these are perfect for immediate brunch! I will probably add salsa too. Thanks for your tips Tim, I really enjoy your easy going videos ❤

[@joycewirth3022]

Hi Tim, and happy morning to you! These are great and thank you for the additional ingredients (Hot sauce and jalapenos) I like "hot" tasting. The part is cleaning up the buttered fingers. Yummy, in my tummy. Have a great day, and I hope to see you soon. Jersey Ann from NJ👀

[@jinlynn1954]

Great idea, thanks for sharing. I am always looking for quick and easy lunch ideas. Have been enjoying your videos.

[@wendingourway]

Always enjoying experimenting by adding all kinds of things. The one I like the most right now is a chicken and smoked paprika! I like these as they are more like a soufflé, but I do enjoy them as chaffles too made in a mini waffle maker. Awesome!

[@bluemoon6567]

Great video. I have been nervous about cooking eggs in the microwave, and now I know ths secret. I would add veggies to mine (onion, red and green peppers) along with the cheese and maybe a dollop of salsa or sour cream. Thanks for this!

[@akontarini]

😋

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi Tim, I've never made eggs in the microwave because I did not know how long to have it in the micro and always thought they would come out rubbery. Thanks for the demo. There is one thing, though. I don't know if you know this, but I learned a while ago that cheese companies put sawdust in their shredded cheese to keep it from sticking to each other. Before I learned that, I always felt some grain residue every time I made tacos. Now, if I want shredded cheese, I buy a whole piece from the deli and shredded it myself. Besides, it tastes much better freshly shredded. Thanks for the variety. Looked delish.

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

Hasn’t heard of sawdust. I know something is added. And you’re right, freshly grated is always better! I’m just lazy. :)

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Powdered cellulose. It's always preferable to use what is least processed but it is convenient.

[@AngelaDavis-yz3xf]

Tried this out, adding the cheese made it extra delicious. Thanks Tim.

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

Fantastic!

[@rhodatuckey7119]

Thank you for sharing...you are (were) a great dad...I just know it...

[@hp7093]

I do this every morning with two eggs. I break an egg and put it on a standard eating plate. 1 min burst and I’m good. I will try mixing in cheese

[@akontarini]

🙃🙂

[@tracy8836]

This looks exceptional....except I decluttered the all of the rameken dishes because I never used them and also the microwave! And what? I would never taint my coffee mug with an egg...not so big a fan of the oozy whites!

[@LynetteP150]

I really enjoy and appreciate your cooking videos. Thank you.

[@JustMellie.]

I know you're staying away from carbs, but I make 2 eggs like this in a cereal bowl and put them on 2 pieces of buttered toast!. Easy egg sandwich and you can take it with you if you need to. The bowl makes the eggs the right size for regular bread.

[@pamelacrowe4971]

I have never tried cooking eggs in the microwave but will be trying this. Thanks Tim.

[@dianefiebelkorn2921]

What size ramekins are you using? I love these for any meal. I make them pretty much the same but add spinach, broccoli or cauliflower and some onion. Great with a salad.

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

I don’t know what size they are. Sorry.

[@kzZnAT0r]

❤

[@nancys7405]

😂😂I do the same with my salted butter. Great video.

[@olderandwiser78]

This looks good. I have never cooked eggs in the microwave. I have a 2 gal. bucket of eggs to use that my son preserved for me. He has chickens and these are fresh laid unwashed eggs from this summer that he water glassed for me. The yolks normally break so frying doesn't work. They are perfect for baking and making scrambled. I will have to try them this way.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I like runny yolks and cooked whites so i just break an egg into a heated pan, cover and cook for 60-90 seconds. Im going to try this tho with the extras. Yum! Easy and quick for me!

[@jobielifehappens7102]

Awesome idea!

[@SylviaRR]

I too will sometimes make a steak for breakfast! I have never cooked an egg in the microwave. I usually cook it on the stove and throw in cheese and whatever. Will try it this way this week. Thanks for the videos!

[@Yeshuareigns1234]

Haven’t microwaved eggs in a long time. This is a great idea! They all looked delicious.

[@suewilkinsonmorrobayca6590]

Looks good.

[@sueseger6883]

I love butter also.

[@deeleeboo]

I’m in. Quick n easy and looks delicious. I “love” butter too!

[@elizabethfclark03]

I’m going to try this (adding in pepperoni and cheese) soon. Looks good!

[@faepage5157]

I’m going to try this. I tried those “made for microwave” poached egg cookers but it turns out either runny or rubbery no matter the time. I LOVE tomatoes/salsa/hot sauce with eggs!

[@sallieredman7349]

Looks yummy. I do my eggs in a Teflon pan and a rubber spatula, with lots of butter, cheese, and cream. Can’t go wrong with eggs!

[@privateer2584]

Thanks for this! I have wondered it this was possible for several years.

[@lisaann6267]

i have an microwave egg cooker from pampered chef. I love it. it holds up to 4 eggs. and i just do 30 sec at a time till i like it. i usually just do cheese with dash of pepper & green onion. (i freeze green onion ) 😋😋

[@amritabhattacharyya4882]

😋

[@Beezer.D.B.]

I try to wait until closer to noon to “break my fast” (always seems to end up being 11:30 though 😂)… so yeah, I would definitely eat all 4 ramekins by then! 😋

[@thisismylife-i5t]

I am not showing this video to my husband 😂 ~ he will pick on me forever as I “ewww” him when he cooks his eggs in the microwave

[@amritabhattacharyya4882]

🤣🤣🤣

[@bergermary917]

I did this when I was on keto with bacon in a muffin tin. I would make them ahead and take them in my car on the way to work.

[@Busy-After-60]

I agree with you I’ve never purchased unsalted butter, and I don’t know why anyone needs to. With salted butter, you can also leave it on the counter and it doesn’t need to be refrigerated. I use salted butter in every recipe that calls for unsalted butter and I don’t think it ruins anything. Do you think the recipes that call for unsalted butter might be based on somebody thinking it’s healthier? It’s like the recipes that call for skim milk. Somewhere along the way people thought that fat was bad and made a whole generation or more of believers that fat makes you fat. Those of us who know better now ignore the skim milk part of the recipe and use whole milk or even half-and-half. My son has lost 23 pounds on the carnivore diet since May or June. He is dedicated to it except for an occasional ice cream treat which he considers is still sort of on the diet because it’s dairy. He pretends it doesn’t have sugar. Although he notices when he does have the ice cream he plateau for a little while until he has a few days back on track. My husband has lost no weight on the carnivore diet for the same length of time because he isn’t sticking to it completely. He has trouble giving up his soda and his peanut butter and jelly. He eats a protein shake for breakfast and I make him a carnivore lunch of bacon and hard boiled eggs and chunks of chicken cooked in a variety of ways. And then for dinner I make him a steak or pork chop or chicken, but he cheats enough to counteract.

[@DFBurgermeister]

Have never tried cooking eggs in the microwave. I like adding salsa to my pan cooked eggs, so I’ll be curious how that turns out in the microwave.

Looks great! Special kudos for understanding the sweet reward of incremental microwave cooking!

Why don'f you just leave it in ths bowl you mixed it in, and butter the bowl before you mix the eggs?

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

It’s not as pretty. :).

[@eva-mariacoughlin9456]

Please Tim, do not eat/cook too much microwaved food, the microwave oven ruins the nutrients in the process of microwaving! It is NOT good for you and it deprives you of the very thing you want and causes you to NOT get what you think you are getting!!
