EGGS AND CHEESE

Eggs and cheese are delicate foods requiring care in

microwave cooking. Piercing the yolks of eggs helps to

release steam during cooking. Stirring egg mixtures

frequently helps distribute the heat evenly. Because the

microwave energy cooks so quickly, always check to

see if the eggs are done to your satisfaction after the

standing time. At this time, stir, rearrange or turn over. If

needed, add additional time gradually. To cook only one

egg, try a lower Power setting until you get satisfactory

results.

Shredded soft cheeses and grated hard cheeses melt

well if stirred into a hot mixture. Cheese may not look

melted so always stir before determining if cheese is

melted enough. Sprinkle cheese over a hot casserole in

a thicker layer at the edges. Microwave energy cooks

from the outside in, so the outer edges will melt faster

than the center.

For cheese melt sandwiches, heat filling where possible

before adding it to the bread. Top each sandwich with a

slice of cheese and cook on P-HI for about 15 to 20

seconds for one sandwich, about 30 seconds for two

sandwiches and about 1 minute for four sandwiches or

until cheese is melted.
