Sunny Side Up

Today, I discovered the secret to amazing scrambled eggs. They're relatively simple, and quite delicious. First, let me tell you about eggs. They're loaded with protein and they taste great. The best part, though, is that your average Grade A large egg only has about seventy-four calories in it, making it a healthy snack you won't regret. Here's what you need to do.

The Perfect Scrambled Egg

Ingredients:
One large egg
One teaspoon reduced fat or fat free milk (or more, I just kinda splashed it in there)
Non-stick cooking spray
Salt, if desired

Process:
First, spray the inside of a small microwave-safe bowl (known to some as a "custard cup." Plastic is not reccomended.) generously with cooking spray. Second, crack the egg into the bowl. Remove any small pieces of egg shell. Next, poke the still-whole yolk with a fork until the inside starts to run. Then, whisk the egg using the fork (if you've never made scrambled eggs before, this involves tilting the bowl ever-so-slightly and quickly making a circular motion with the fork until the egg yolk and whites are all nice and mixed.). After this, add the milk and whisk the eggs again. The egg mixture should be nice and frothy. Some people like to add salt at this step, but I did not because it slipped my mind. At this point, you want to cover the bowl with something, preferably a paper towel, and stick it into the microwave. Cooking times at this point may vary, but you will want to cook this on HIGH power for about 45 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave. You should see a solid egg mass floating in liquid egg. Using your fork, flip the egg solid over in the bowl, and put the bowl back in for fifteen seconds. No more, no less. When you take the bowl out this time, you should have a nice, fluffy, round scrambled egg. Invert the bowl onto a plate, top with whatever (personally, I enjoy quality hot sauce when the mood strikes me.). Then eat the egg and try to control yourself while you experience an orgasm in your mouth.
