Last night, I was having a hard time falling asleep so I spent a little longer online playing around and reading emails.  I was up so late that I was able to catch today’s edition of the HungryGirl newsletter.  This newsletter was for unusual but tasty breakfast foods that would be quick and easy to make.  So the item that caught my eye, because I had all of the ingredients, was scrambled eggs and laughing cow light cheese made via a coffee cup and a microwave.  I have been in the mood for breakfast tacos recently and decided to give it a try this morning as I dealt with laundry.

So what did I think?  Overall it wasn’t too terrible.  I will admit that the eggs were a little weird looking during the whole cooking process.  They were scrambled but didn’t have the same look as scrambled eggs during and after the process but they tasted the same.  They worked well for breakfast tacos because it was one or two lumps of egg and not lots of little pieces so I could transfer them over to the tortillas fairly easily.  Next time I make them though I am going to make less.  I felt 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters was just too much egg for me in a breakfast taco.  Otherwise 4 stars and a great way to have eggs before heading off to work.

I have read about making scrambled eggs in the microwave a few times recently in the HungryGirl newsletter. I have never tried any of her recipes, just her product suggestions so I am not sure if eggs in the microwave are very tasty.

I am thinking about trying it though because the past few mornings I have wanted to have a breakfast taco but have gone to be too late and woken too late as a result. Thus, I have run out of time to really make anything other than instant oatmeal or cereal. But if I could do scrambled eggs in the microwave in under 2 minutes as HG reports, I could easily get ready in the morning and have a breakfast taco without worrying about burning my eggs on the stove and needing to stand over them.

So I am excited now. I am going to try this little recipe out – 1/2 cup EggBeaters, 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Light cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir, Microwave for 30 more seconds and then serve on the low fat tortilla with salsa. I’ll report back on how this tastes in the morning.
