I do mine in a small bowl with melted butter in it. I cover the bowl
with a plate then 20 seconds on high. Let it set 20 seconds then 20
on high again. Set 20 seconds then 20 on high again. While I do that
I make toast and assemble a sandwich with ham, cheese and the egg.
Nuke the sandwich for 15 seconds and in 3- 4 minutes you're got a hot
and tasty meal. It would probably be easier if I could ever remember
how to use the power setting feature of the nuker. <sigh> But this
has worked for me.
