Eggwich

This recipe was adapted from the Easy Eggwich by Ontel.  I bought this on Amazon and it works just as promised.  I’ve moved into a smaller apartment, where space is at a premium, so this recipe uses a small round ramekin instead of the Original Eggwich.  Still… if you have room, buy the Easy Eggwich.

Basic Recipe

  • Wipe a round ramekin with Crisco, butter, or spray with Pam
  • Beat an egg in a separate container and place into the ramekin
  • Add toppings (two max) bacon, sausage, cheese, olive, ham, etc
  • Put into microwave and cover with a tea plate
  • Microwave 60 seconds on high
  • The glass will heat up.  BE CAREFUL.  The Easy Eggwich container does not heat up.
  • Turn out on a prepared English muffin or other container – add toppings as desired

Options from Easy Eggwich

  • CONTAINER:   English muffin, biscuit, bagel, croissant, waffle, pancake, Texas toast, corn muffin, ciaatta bun, flatbread, wraps, potato buns, street taco tortillas, pitas, and more
  • MEAT FILLING:   Bacon, sausage, sausage links, ham, pork roll, Canadian bacon, maple bacon, turkey sausage, chorizo, corned beef, prosciutto, soppressata, and more.
  • SPECIALTY TOPPINGS to use BEFORE cooking:  (mix in with egg) Onions, salsa,diced tomatoes, mushrooms, and more.
  • SPECIALTY TOPPINGS to use AFTER cooking:  Avocado, salsa, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, sprouts, tater tots, hashed browns, and more.
  • CHEESE TOPPING:   Cheddar, Swiss, Provolone, pepper jack, Muenster, goat cheese, feta, cream cheese, Manchego, Cotija, and others  (Grandpa’s suggestion:  put cheese on AFTER cooking)

Eggwich Variations

PLEASE NOTE:  I’ve intentionally omitted amounts to use.  Please use your judgement to use whatever amounts best suits your personal taste.  DO NOT, however, use too much tomato or cheese, as it will prevent the egg from congealing.
