A good way to cook an egg is to crack one into a little water, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then nuke it.

Sounds like a "poor (or lazy, or hurried)-man's poach." I've got to try that.

Remove with slotted spoon onto a toasted, buttered slice of bread.

Substitute an English muffin for the toast and slip in a slice of Canadian bacon, and you're most of the way to Eggs Benedict.

I made Eggs Benedict once substituting a slice of uber-salty Virginia ham for the Canadian bacon, and béarnaise in place of hollandaise. Makes my mouth water just remembering it.

I was thinking of eggs Benedict when I typed that :)

I did it to lessen the fat, but then I buttered the toast so I didn’t really save any fat calories. Until recently, I was on a weight control diet for years. Virginia ham is out for us, because we’re trying to limit our salt intake. Have you noticed that the cheaper the food item, the higher the fat/salt content is? Excluding Virginia ham, of course. Yikes, that stuff is expensive!
