Microwave curried egg sandwich

At a glance

Preparation time: 8 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2½ tablespoons milk*
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 slices bread (wholemeal/whole grain if available)
• 1 cup lettuce leaves*
• Pepper to taste

Steps

1. Add eggs, milk and curry powder to a microwaveable bowl and mix well. If the base of your bowl is the same size as a slice of bread, then the final cooked egg will be the same size as a slice of bread and fit nicely in your sandwich.
2. Place bowl in microwave and cook for 30 to 40 seconds on high power. Remove bowl from microwave and stir eggs and return to microwave for another 30 to 40 seconds (you may need to repeat this 2 to 3 times until the egg is cooked).
3. Make your sandwich by taking a slice of bread, topping with the lettuce leaves and then cooked egg. Add pepper and then the second piece of bread.

*Tips

• Use milk of your choice in this recipe.
• You can use any type of lettuce leaves or a mix of different lettuce leaves.
• You can also add any extra vegetables such as cut up cherry tomatoes or frozen vegetables or any leftover cooked vegetables you have.
• You can freeze leftover bread so it stays fresh for next time. For variety, try adding some chopped spring onion to the egg.
