Easy Microwave Cooking: Delicious Bacon Cheese Steamed Egg Recipe
This is an ultra-simple recipe to make wonderful bacon cheese steamed egg using only a microwave, without any complicated steps. The combination of savory bacon and rich cheese in the soft steamed egg is exquisite, making it perfect for busy mornings or as a snack for children.
Ingredients- 2 eggs
- 2 strips bacon
- 70ml warm milk
- 3 Tbsp shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella or a blend)
- Pinch of dried parsley (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 2 strips of bacon. Thinly slice them into about 0.5 cm strips for a better texture when cooked. Cutting them not too thick is key.
Step 2
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a bowl and whisk them gently with a fork or whisk. It’s important to stir them well until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 3
Pour 70ml of milk into a microwave-safe cup or bowl and heat for about 30 seconds in the microwave. Don’t make it too hot; warming it gently is the secret to soft steamed eggs.
Step 4
Slowly pour the warmed milk into the beaten eggs. Adding milk will greatly enhance the softness and richness of your steamed egg.
Step 5
Gently mix the warm milk and eggs with a spatula or whisk. This step is crucial for achieving the moist and tender texture characteristic of steamed eggs. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 6
Now, transfer the egg mixture to a microwave-safe, deep bowl. It’s very important to leave about 1/3 of the bowl empty, as the mixture will expand during cooking. Filling it too full will cause it to overflow in the microwave! Add the prepared sliced bacon to the egg mixture and stir lightly.
Step 7
Add 1 Tbsp of shredded cheese to the egg mixture and mix well. Stirring in the cheese beforehand ensures that the savory flavor is evenly distributed throughout the steamed egg.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, then poke 2-3 holes in the wrap with a fork. Microwave for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, you’ll notice that only the edges of the egg mixture have started to cook. Use a spoon to gently stir the cooked parts, ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed. This prevents the egg from becoming lumpy and makes it much smoother.
Step 9
Add the remaining 2 Tbsp of shredded cheese to the partially cooked egg mixture and stir well again. Adding plenty of cheese makes it even more delicious!
Step 10
Finally, cover the bowl again with a microwave-safe lid or pierced plastic wrap, and microwave in 30-second intervals for a total of three times (about 1 minute 30 seconds). Cook until the cheese is melted and the egg is fully set. Keep an eye on it and adjust the time as needed.
Step 11
Sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over the finished soft and savory bacon cheese steamed egg for an even more appealing look. Enjoy it while it’s warm!
