Microwave Mayo Egg Soufflé (Inspired by Chef José Andrés)
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise full-fat for best results
- Pinch of salt
- Grated cheese herbs, or hot sauce for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a small microwave-safe bowl or mug, whisk together the egg, mayo, and salt until smooth.
- Microwave on high for 30–45 seconds. The egg should puff and set but still look soft in the center. If needed, cook for another 10–15 seconds.
- Top with cheese, herbs, or hot sauce. Eat immediately and feel slightly smug about your life choices.
Notes
Make it cheesier: Stir shredded cheese into the mix before microwaving for extra richness.
Toddler-friendly: Leave out the salt and cut into small wedges for an easy finger food.
Add some apéro energy: Drizzle hot honey or scatter fresh herbs on top to make this microwave miracle dinner-party chic.
Mug vs. ramekin: A mug gives height (soufflé vibes), while a shallow bowl makes it more custardy.
