When I do eggs in the microwave, I use milk, and also, I use a bowl, not a cup or mug. I spray it with Pam, and will wash it out after the first egg is done, because I have my husband to feed too. I will usually use precooked bacon, or sausage patties, depending on what I have on hand, and either English muffins or bread, to make my breakfast sandwiches.
