Microwavable Egg Breakfast Part II (Coffee Cup Breakfast)

Again, I've had a request from the lone reader of this blog for making 3-4 servings of the microwavable egg breakfast.

This microwavable egg breakfast is also known in some parts of the country as "coffee cup" breakfast. The reason being is that many people do not have a complete set of glass custard bowls sitting around and easily accessible for microwaving a single egg to cook up in a perfectly round circle to sit prettily on a toasted English muffin or a bagel. So, using a coffee cup instead of digging through the cupboards for the finer kitchen items is just a lot more practical.

To make this breakfast really easy, just grab 4 microwavable coffee cups out of the cupboard. Lightly spray them with cooking spray. Crack an egg in each cup and add 1 tablespoon of milk. Salt and pepper to taste and scramble with a fork. Place all four cups in the microwave for about 3 minutes. Voila! You now have breakfast for four. Slide your pretty, perfectly circular cooked egg onto a toasted muffin and you'll have breakfast faster than you could get at a drive-thru. I like to serve Coffee Cup breakfast with cut up fruit (I love fresh fruit with all breakfasts). If you're in a hurry and don't have time to cut up fruit, just serve with a banana.

To reiterate: Keep your kitchen simple. You do not need a lot of kitchen gadets. Clutter = chaos. Less is more.

No pots to clean! Just put the dirty coffee cups in the dishwasher.
