Can you cook an egg over easy in the microwave?

It is possible to cook an over-easy egg in a microwave, but the results may not be ideal. The egg will likely cook more evenly and thoroughly if you cook it on the stovetop or in the oven. Here are the steps to cook an over-easy egg in a microwave:

. Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin.

. Add a splash of water to the bowl (about 1 teaspoon) to help the egg cook evenly.

. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring it is vented to allow steam to escape.

. Cook the egg on high heat for 20-30 seconds or until the white is completely cooked and the yolk is still runny. Cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.

. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and season the egg with salt and pepper to taste.

. Serve immediately on toasted bread or your preferred side dish.

. When preparing an over-easy egg in the microwave, it's important to watch it closely to avoid overcooking. The key is to cook the egg just enough so that the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
