- Crack an egg into the bowl; make sure the egg is completely submerged.
- Cover the top of the bowl with a small plate or saucer.
- Microwave on HIGH power for 1 minute.
- Remove from microwave and check to see if white of the egg is firm.
- If the egg white or the yolk needs more cooking, re-cover the bowl and microwave on HIGH for another 15 seconds.*.
- Using a slotted serving spoon or large fork, carefully transfer the egg to your toast, your plate, etc., and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- *Please note that microwave cooking times will vary.When I make this, I take the egg out after 1 minute on HIGH and flip it over in the bowl, re-cover, and cook on HIGH for another 15 seconds.

Steps:
- Microwave the mug: Put the mug in the microwave and microwave on HIGH power for 30 seconds. NOTE: Start out microwaving the egg for only 30 seconds. Take out the mug, remove the plate or plastic wrap, and peek inside; you want the whites to be opaque, and the yolk to be still on the runny side. If the whites are still clear, return the cover in place and put the mug back in the microwave for another 10 to 60 seconds. To prevent explosions, do not microwave the egg longer than 30 seconds at a time, and don't microwave longer than a total of 1 1/2 minutes. How long it takes to cook the egg to your liking depends primarily on the wattage of your microwave. You'll need to play around a bit. The time can vary a lot!
