Use a 6-ounce coffee cup or microwave-safe ramekin for this. Cook the eggs one at a time and adjust your cooking time according to how well you want your egg cooked. One minute for a runny yolk, two minutes for a fully cooked yolk. For a variation, consider adding 1/4 cup chopped ham and 4 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, or 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper and 4 tablespoons shredded of Swiss Cheese.
