1 Minute Soufflé-Style Egg
Fluffy, light, and creamy, this 1 Minute Soufflé-Style Egg is made in the microwave with just one egg and mayo for a super quick and delightful breakfast.
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- 1 8 ounce ramekin (or same size dish or mug)
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
- pinch of coarse salt
- fresh cracked black pepper for serving, optional but recommended
- grated Parmesan for serving, optional but recommended
- diced chives for serving, optional but recommended
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8-ounce ramekin (or similar-sized microwave-safe dish or mug) with olive oil.
- In a spouted measuring cup, vigorously whisk together the egg, mayo, and salt for 20 seconds until pale in color, thick, and creamy. (This incorporates air, which helps the egg rise and become fluffy.)
- Pour into the ramekin. Use a spatula, if necessary, to make sure you get it all.
- Place in the microwave and cook, uncovered, on full power for 50 seconds—don't overcook.
- Be careful, the ramekin and egg will be hot! You can enjoy directly out of the ramekin or invert onto a plate.
- Top with a couple turns of black pepper, freshly grated Parmesan, and chives. Enjoy on its own or with a slice of toast.
Notes
- Use an 8-ounce ramekin or any microwave-safe dish of a similar size. The egg will puff up quite a bit as it cooks (then deflate), so make sure the dish is big enough to prevent overflow.
- A coffee mug works too. If you don’t have a ramekin, a microwave-safe mug is a great backup.
