EGGS & CHEESE
Guide for Cooking Eggs & Cheese
• CHEESE
Cheese melts quickly and smoothly. When serving cheese as an appetizer, flavor is at peak when served
at room temperature. Use a low power level for melting. Cheese melts best when shredded and heated
with milk or other liquids. Stir cheese mixtures several times for even heating.
• EGGS
Eggs cook differently by microwave. The high fat content of egg yolks absorbs energy, so yolks cook
faster than whites. It's easy to poach eggs in a microwave oven, but if you want soft yolks, remove eggs
from the oven before whites are completely cooked. A brief standing time allows whites to set without
overcooking yolks. Check eggs for completion of cooking early, they toughen when overcooked.
When eggs and yolks are mixed together for omelets, scrambled eggs or custards, they cook more evenly
and need less stirring than during conventional cooking methods.
Do not try to cook eggs in the shell. Steam can build up inside the shells, causing them to burst.
