-
Spray the bowl with cooking spray so that the egg will release.
-
Get an egg and crack it into the bowl. (*Picture shows a bowl, but if you use a coffee mug, you get a round more uniform egg*) Prick the yolk with a fork so that it won't explode while cooking in the microwave. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute.
- If you put cling film over the egg, the egg will cook better.

Get two slices of bacon . Wait one minute for the plate to cool down in the microwave before cooking the bacon. Cook the bacon until it's done. Most microwaves have a "bacon" cycle, which it is recommended that you use. If there is no "bacon" cycle, start with 90 seconds per slice on highest setting.
- Before placing in the microwave , if you want to get as much fat off the bacon as you can, put paper towels between the bacon to soak up the fat.
-
Spread the sandwich with mayonnaise. This step is optional but it helps to add moisture and flavor. Alternatively, you could add a slice of American cheese and allow it to melt in. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
