  • Crack the egg, and carefully place the whites only in a microwave safe bowl or mug. Keep the egg yolk inside the shells.
  • Using a whisk or a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Microwave the egg whites in the bowl or mug for 25 seconds.
  • Place the egg yolk carefully in the middle of the cooked egg whites, and return to the microwave for 20 more seconds, or more depending on desired level of doneness.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with toast or in the bowl/mug, if desired.
