Hey,
Curiosity kills the cat ! .... The very Vague title was just to lure you people here ....
Here are some very simple egg recipes ...... Anybody can cook this so i encourage you to try it out .....

Warning !

For successful cooking of eggs in your microwave, keep these few points in mind:
-->EGGS MICRO-COOKED IN THEIR SHELLS WILL EXPLODE!
-->Omelets, scrambled eggs and poached eggs micro-cook well on full power (high).
-->Even out of the shell eggs may explode in the microwave because rapid heating causes a buildup of steam. Always use a tooth pick or tip of a knife to break the yolk membrane of an unbeaten egg before micro-cooking to allow the steam to escape.
-->Covering cooking containers with a lid, plastic wrap or wax paper encourages more even cooking and - if you forgot to prick the yolks - helps to confine the explosion!


Recipies

Fried Eggs - Break and slip one (1) egg into each of two lightly-greased 10-ounce custard cups or a pie plate(Flat bottomed plates). Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on 50% power just until eggs are almost desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand, covered until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.

Poached Eggs - Pour 1/3 cup water into 10-ounce custard cup or small deep bowl. Break and slip in two eggs. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on full power about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If necessary, let stand, covered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour off water to serve in custard cup or lift out with slotted spoon. NOTE: For 4 eggs, use 2/3 cup water in 1-quart bowl or baking dish. Cook 1 1/2 to 3 minutes and let stand as above.
Scrambled Eggs - In 10-ounce custard cup, beat together 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons milk with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, until blended. Cook on full power, stirring once or twice, until almost set, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 1 minute. NOTE: All microwave cooking times are based on a full power output of 600 to 700 watts. For a lower wattage oven, allow more time.
1 egg: 30 to 45 seconds

2 eggs: 1 to 1-1/2 minutes

4 eggs: 2-1/2 to 3 minutes

6 eggs: 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes

8 eggs: 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 minutes

I like eating eggs, its quite good how you can make one egg taste so different in many different cooking methods.

I like all the methods of cooking eggs mentioned above, but generally opt for making an omelette's, thanks for reminding of the methods Eddy.

Oh you forgot omelette and boiled eggs as well, which is a common way of cooking eggs.

omlette is similar to fried eggs ....so did not include it
I should have included something about boiled eggs ..... There are ways to boil and peel the eggs easily ....which most people are not aware of ....

Anyways ...did you notice that all the above methods for making eggs was specifically for microwave users ?
this was for the benefit of guys like vibes who have a microwave and dont use it ...

Btw : vibes are you a lacto-veg ? [no eggs too]

I like eggs. May it be boiled, sunny side up, or scrambled.

I like eggs in noodles too.

Well i think its different because with an omlette is plain and round and you can add in fillings, and also add things into the omlette like vegetables and cook them with the omelette's mixture, where as you cant with fried eggs!

With scrambled eggs you can make your very own Indian style dish, as it is called bhurji.
Just cut and fry onions, chilies, add salt, pepper, and optional spices include garam masala, chilli powder. Beat the eggs and then add them to the frying pan and mix everything together and your bhurji is made!
