How to Cook Egg Whites in a Microwave

In all the craziness that occurs most mornings ‒ getting up early, going to work, trying not to fall back asleep ‒ it’s highly unlikely that you have time to cook a five-course meal. Instead, you might settle for a quick protein bar or even skip breakfast altogether. While both these options might seem like a good idea at the time, studies have shown that skipping breakfast can lead to overeating and declined mental functioning during the day.

Why not cook up some egg whites for breakfast instead? You can do this in a flash using the microwave, and the best part is that it doesn’t zap away their nutrients. Eat them on their own or throw them in your morning smoothie. Either way, cooking eggs whites in the microwave couldn’t be easier.

Eating egg whites is a great way to add some extra protein to your diet. You might be used to cooking them on the stovetop, which is a great method. The trouble is that it’s not ideal when you’re in a hurry; it’s time-consuming and requires more supervision.

Instead, you need a quick method that will get you out the door in no time with breakfast-on-the-go. That’s where the microwave comes in, and you only need egg whites, a microwave-safe mug and non-stick cooking spray.

Start by adding the ingredients to the mug; then microwave them on high for 1 minute. Stir, then cook for an additional 30 seconds. Ensure that the egg whites are fully cooked to help prevent any harmful bacteria.
