Essential Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1 strip Bacon
- A small amount of Onion
Optional Ingredients (for Enhanced Flavor!)
- 1-2 Tbsp Sweet Corn
- Mozzarella Cheese (as desired)
- A little Butter (optional)
- 1-2 Tbsp Sweet Corn
- Mozzarella Cheese (as desired)
- A little Butter (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather all your ingredients and a microwave-safe mug for making the bacon egg. You’ll need bacon, an egg, onion, sweet corn, (optional) butter, mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Step 2
Lightly grease the inside of your microwave-safe mug with butter, or line the inner walls of the mug with the strip of bacon. This step helps to easily remove the cooked bacon egg later.
Step 3
If using butter, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion and 1 tablespoon of sweet corn on top. The sweetness of the onion and the popping texture of the corn will add extra deliciousness.
Step 4
Carefully crack one egg into the mug. Gently prick the yolk with a fork a couple of times to prevent it from bursting during cooking. This ensures a more even cooking process.
Step 5
Season the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper according to your preference. Next, generously sprinkle your desired amount of mozzarella cheese over the top. The melting cheese will add a rich, savory dimension to your bacon egg.
Step 6
With the cheese on top, it’s time to microwave the dish. Cook for approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds to 4 minutes, or until the egg is cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.)
Step 7
Be very cautious when removing the mug from the microwave as it will be extremely hot! Use oven mitts or a kitchen towel to handle the mug.
Step 8
To easily unmold the bacon egg, gently run a spoon or fork around the edges of the mug. Carefully invert the mug onto a plate to release the perfectly formed bacon egg. Sprinkle with parsley flakes for a beautiful garnish.
Step 9
Voilà! Your incredibly simple bacon egg is ready. The delightful combination of savory bacon, tender egg, sweet onion and corn, and creamy cheese is always a winner. It’s perfect as a quick meal or a satisfying snack. Don’t miss out on trying this easy and delicious bacon egg!
