Ms P -

I do those on mornings where I'm not starving and don't have a need for
meat :-)

They call those "toad in the holes", I do however normally do those in a
small skillet. For the microwave, I have a two egg poacher. 1:30 mi @
50% cooks the eggs. They are shaped for an english muffin. I few pieces
of cheese, toast the muffins while cooking the eggs, and walla, McD's
egg & cheese muffins in about two minutes.

The "toad in the hole" are better as you can leave the egg nice and
dunkable, whereas the nuked "poached eggs" needed the yolk punctured to
prevent explosion.
