how do you like your blanquillo/huevos?

You can actually buy a poaching device for the microwave. It makes damn good eggs.

I have a hard-on for runny eggs. I pretty much creamed my pants when I learned my girlfriend's parents were getting chickens. I get fresh eggs from them a lot now and they are fucking fantastic. These are my favourite things to do with them:

microwave-scramble: 2-3 in a cup-bowl, mixed thoroughly with milk, with a little butter and salt. After 80 seconds + mixing + another 40 seconds, you have scrambled eggs without a cleanup. I love putting them in english muffins with cheese and bacon, or eating it straight with hot sauce.

Microwave over-easy: I know it's totally not healthy for me, but this is the quicket most orgasmic way I eat eggs. I put a sliver of butter in a cup-bowl, and crack a single egg in and poke the yolk with a fork. Then I microwave it for 40 seconds, and voila, runny eggs. I LOVE putting it on toast with cheese, or in random sandwiches, like with ham. Mmm.

Omelette: I'm a mean omelette-maker. Pretty straight-forward how they're made.

However, the absolute BEST use of eggs in a dish I've ever encountered was at this place called The Pantry, before they changed from a "diner-with-breakfast-lean" to "family restaurant". It's called a Waffles Benedict and my god it was orgasmic. Basically, they had an awesome waffle, and they'd poach four eggs runny, and then they'd put ham + cheese + poached runny egg + hollandaise sauce on the waffle, and you'd pour syrup on it and it was amazing. However, it got too popular and they had to take it off the menu.

I haven't bothered trying it yet for myself. It's way too much work. Maybe one day!

I share your love for runny eggs and microwaved eggs. I make egg-bagel-bacon-american cheese sandwiches all the time. Eggs + Bacon + Hashbrowns is my favorite easy-to-make casual breakfast dish.

What's the product that microwave poaches the eggs? That would be infinitely valuable to me.

This one looks very similar to mine, which we got in a chinese kitchen store downtown:

I imagine it's not the exact same as on a stove, but then again over-easy microwave eggs aren't the same as in a frying pan.
