5-minute egg salad

Have you ever wanted an egg salad sandwich but didn't have any hard-boiled eggs?  That was my dilemma this morning.  I really, really wanted egg salad but didn't want to wait to boil and cool the eggs so I decided to experiment.

Every since I was little, I have cooked eggs in the microwave and used them in fast food style egg and muffin sandwiches (you know....Canadian bacon, a slice of cheese, an egg patty, muffin) so I started my experiment at this point to skip the boiling water process.

Using small bowl with high sides, I sprayed it with Pam and cracked 2 eggs into it.  I scrambled them and put it in the microwave for 90 seconds.

When it came out, I chopped the egg patty into chunks and stirred in Best Foods Mayo (gluten free), some shredded cheese (just because I can't live without cheese), and some sea salt.

I spread it on some toasted brown rice bread slices and tried it.  It totally satisfied my egg salad craving and took less than 5-minutes to make.  This recipe is a keeper!


Tip: to avoid rubbery microwaved eggs, under cook them a bit and then let them sit about a minute and the internal heat will cook them the rest of the way.

Looks delish. I think I need to embrace the microwave for my eggs. I usually boil them but it's time intensive. The other day I tried the Alton Brown oven method (a little too explode-y for my liking...)

I saw the Alton Brown oven thing too and am scared to try it. Microwaving eggs is so easy but the trick is to under cook just a tad so they don't get rubbery.
