Here is an idea I found on another site...



Anyway, when I make my eggwhites for breakfast, I make 4 instead of 2 and then split it into 2 portions. I eat one half and put the other half in a tupperware container and then in an insulated lunch bag. It actually keeps pretty well for the 2.5 to 3 hours until the mid-morning snack (what I affectionately call "second breakfast"). I often have a fruit omlette - put sliced bananas or fresk berries in with the egg white while they are cooking and that tastes great.

Here is another idea... if you have a bit of time in the evening..


Try this - 6 egg whites about 3T of sugar sub, 1t cream of tartar then whatever flavor extract you like. Mix all ingredients with mixer until STIFF peaks are formed - so you can form it and it stays - then bake at 350 untill they are golden brown 12-20 minutes depending on your oven. You can add food coloring too they say to make it "pretty" - works for B breakfast along with your other choice. If you make 6 cookies each one counts for 1 egg white, if you make three each one counts for two or you can make two and have each one count for three. It depends on what works best for you.

This is from a thread I posted in at another site.

I just hard boil about twenty eggs, then eat the whites as I peal them. Sometimes I cheat though and have a yolk. :o j/k

The Doc

What kind of recipe are you looking for, and does it have to be done in the microwave? I just need some more specifics and I would be more than happy to assist you .

Me too, never've been much on microwaving. I'll cheat with the yolk about every 6 eggs :p

Thanks for the responses guys some good advice. To answer DOC yes I'd like it to be microwave just for the speed and convience. I just want something I can add to the whites to make it taste decent so I can stomach it.

The Doc

I guess I should ask how do you like your eggs. Is there a recipe that you like now(Fried egg whites, omelettes, egg white Mcmuffin's, etc) that you use the stove for but want to use the microwave for instead, or do you just want any recipe to make egg whites taste better? I mean they cook so fast in a pan when you fry them and you can make so many when you hard boil them that in the long run I would go with the stove for saving time, not to mention they usually taste strange in the microwave. I'll go try a few things quick and post my results.

Ok, after spending an hour with my microwave and some eggs this is what I've found out for you. Your best bet when using the microwave is to make McMuffins or poached eggs when you're talking about flavor and ease respectively.

1)Egg white only
-Spray small bowl w/non-stick spray and add egg
-Cover w/plastic wrap a poke w/fork 5 times
-Microwave 45-60 seconds, salt and pepper to taste

RESULTS- Rather light (not rubbery), full of air bubbles from high water
activity in white tring to escape. Plain, but fast and easy

2)Egg white w/ diced turkey ham and cheese
-Same directions as above + 1/2 oz turkey ham and 1/2 Tablespoon of
shredded low fat cheddar.

RESULTS-More air bubbles (probably from added water in ham), not as solid
overall. A lot more flavor and only about 1 extra minute of prep time.

3)Egg white poached in the microwave
-Prep plain egg ass in #1 and set aside
-Fill a bowl that's bigger that your egg bowl with enough water to come up
3/4 of the way of your egg bowl, cover and microwave just the water
(Leave egg bowl out for now) until boiling or about 4 1/2 minutes in my case.
-Remove cover, place egg bowl inside water bowl, cover and mocrowave for
1 minute, check for doneness and microwave about 45 seconds more.

RESULTS- Nice and firm with no air bubbles. Very close to egg poached on
stove top. Best texture and firmness so far, but also the most time
consuming-10 minitues start to finish.

4) 2 whites poached with turkey ham and cheese
-Same as above + 1 oz turkey ham and 1 Tablespoon of low fat cheddar
-Cook 1min & 30 sec, check for doneness and cook about 1 more minute.

RESULTS_Some air bubble, not as firm as #3 but better than #1 & #2.

CONCLUSION- If you like poached eggs then #3 and #4 are your way to go. If
you just want fast, easy and ok go with methods #1 & #2.


McMuffin-What worked best for me (overall taste wise) was method #3 with a 1 oz slice of turkey ham and 1 Tablespoon of lowfat cheddar on a toasted English muffin with some Parkay Fat Free butter spray. It still takes about 10 minutes or less to make but definitely tasted best overall.

I hope this helps a little bit, I'm not much for microwave cooking, and I definitely don't recommend vegetables to be mixed into the eggs since they log them down with extra water.

Hey DOC that's awesome! You went above and beyond thanks a million! Sounds like #2 will be the winner. I can buy cartons of pure egg whites for a decent price so it'll quick and easy which is what I need in the am.
