Beat an egg with a little cheese in a cup or ramekin and it will puff like a souffle in the microwave. Slip it onto a lightly buttered, toasted English muffin for a snack that's super-fast, hot and delicious.
Sharon Bowers
| 1 egg | Pinch of salt | |
| 1 teaspoon water | 1 English muffin | |
| 1 tablespoon grated cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack or Parmesan | 1 teaspoon softened butter |
Break the egg into a microwave-safe cup or ramekin, add the water and beat with a fork (the water helps loosen the egg and makes it puffier when it cooks). Stir in the grated cheese and salt.
Microwave the egg on high for about 45 seconds, until it puffs and rises.
Toast the English muffin and spread each half with butter. Scoop the egg onto the bottom half (it will deflate a little) and top it with the other muffin half.
