CHAPTER 1

Everything Eggs

Egg-based breakfasts are a fantastic way to start the day, especially when they’re as easy, filling, and delicious as these. EggaMuffins (egg sandwiches), egg mugs (scrambles made in the microwave!), omelettes, and more . . . They’re all here!

Need-to-Know Egg Mug Info!

You need a LARGE microwave-safe mug—the egg mixture will rise and puff as it cooks. HG pick: a tall, wide mug with a 16-ounce capacity. No big mugs in your kitchen? Grab a sizeable microwave-safe bowl instead!

Don’t forget to mist the mug with nonstick spray. Spritz the sides as well as the bottom. Otherwise, some of your breakfast may stick to the mug . . .

Immediately after eating, soak the mug with soapy water. This will make cleanup a snap!

Rather cook your scramble in a skillet? Do it! Just spritz a skillet with nonstick spray, and cook your ingredients over medium heat, following the recipe indicators (until softened, until set, etc.).

Egg-White Assistance . . .

Using fresh whites from a shell? Here’s a handy conversion chart!

¼ cup egg whites = about 2 large egg whites

⅓ cup egg whites = about 3 large egg whites

½ cup egg whites = about 4 large egg whites
