Tips on Getting the Egg to Right Texture
So this recipe isn’t rocket science. But there is one challenge: how to get the eggs cooked to your liking.
- typically you would use about 3-4 slices of bologna to create the “bowl”. But the more layers of bologna you have, the longer it takes to cook the whites.
- Thus, if you want a runny egg yolk, it might take longer or to cook the whites. But in that time, the yolk is cooked too.
- So if you like a hard cooked egg yolk, then use more bologna and cook the bowl until everything is set.
- If you want a runny egg yolk, we suggest using just a single slice of bologna, then add the one slice of cheese and one egg on top.
- The single slice of bologna allows the white to cook quicker and it makes it easier to control how much of the yolk that you want cooked.
- After microwaving the bowl for about a minute covered, leave it sitting in the microwave for about a minute before opening it up. This will all the residual heat to help cook the whites without overcooking the yolks. If it isn’t set yet after you check it , cover again, and continue microwave in 15-20 second intervals to get the eggs to you liking.
