  2. Sprinkle with salt and pepper: Season the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper to add flavor. You can also add other seasonings or herbs, such as garlic powder, paprika, or chopped chives, if you’re into it.This is an overhead horizontal image of a white bowl with a raw egg in the center topped with pepper.

  3. Microwave for 45 seconds, checking on it after 30 seconds: Cook the egg in the microwave on high for 45 seconds, but be sure to check on it after 30 seconds to prevent overcooking. The clear part of the egg should turn white, but the yolk should still be soft and jiggly.

  4. Use a rubber spatula to slide around the egg: Once the egg is cooked, use a rubber spatula to slide it around the dish and transfer it onto a slice of toast or serve it alongside your favorite breakfast foods. Be careful when handling the dish, as it may be hot.
