Eggs in your fridge means that you are never far from a delicious and nutritious meal.
Whether you’re partial to poached, scrambled, baked, boiled or fried eggs, they don’t take long to whip up.
Fried eggs are a go-to for breakfasts, however, many struggle to get the whites perfect without overcooking the yolk when frying in the pair of using the air fryer.
To remedy this, a savvy woman took to her TikTok page @clairenlson74, where she regularly posts recipes and cooking tips, to show how a fried egg can be cooked in 40 seconds.
Claire uses her microwave to cook the egg. Not only does this speed up the cooking process but it also ensures it’s done in the healthiest way possible.
Claire starts by adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to a paper plate and cracks an egg right on top of that before covering it with another paper plate.
She said: “Then we’re going to microwave it for 40 seconds.” Showing the “big reveal” once the time was up, the egg was perfectly cooked.
Claire then added some salt and pepper before giving it a taste. She said: “That’s good. That’s really good. So easy and no clean up. Absolutely delicious.”
Taking to the comments section, fellow TikTok users were impressed by this way of cooking a fried egg.
One user said: “Wow that’s incredible. It’s taken me years to realise you can do this.”
Another user said: “It worked. It was so good.” A third wrote: “Didn’t know this. Thank you.”
While Claire used paper plates in her video, one user claimed: “You don’t need to use paper plates, you can use regular plates.”
To get the best results from this cooking tip, it’s worth leaving the eggs out of the fridge for at least an hour before as they cook better when at room temperature.
This is because starting with a cold egg means it’s more likely to overcook in the yolk area while trying to get the white to set.
