Sunny-side-up eggs are an essential part of many breakfasts, but frying them in a pan can be tricky. Fortunately, there is a method that allows you to prepare perfect sunny-side-up eggs in less than a minute, without using a pan. All you need is a microwave.

How to prepare sunny-side-up eggs in the microwave?

To prepare sunny-side-up eggs in the microwave, simply grease a dish or deep plate with oil. Then crack the egg into the dish and gently pierce the yolk with a knife to prevent it from exploding during heating. Place the dish in the microwave for 30 seconds on high power. After this, let the egg rest for a minute to stabilize. If you prefer a firmer yolk, you can add another 10 seconds.

A great addition to sunny-side-ups is sautéed spinach with garlic. You can also sauté tomatoes with mushrooms and onions. Create small openings in the vegetable mixture to crack the eggs into. This way, the dish will not only taste great but also look impressive. Sunny-side-up eggs can also be part of a nutritious breakfast sandwich: with whole-grain toast, avocado, tomato, and other favorite toppings.
