Step 1

Use a room temperature egg.

Step 2

Nuke an empty microwave safe plate for 15 seconds on high heat.

Step 3

Grease the warm plate with oil or butter.

Step 4

Crack the egg in the center of the prepared plate.

Step 5

Microwave for 45 seconds.

Step 6

If not cooked properly, continue cooking for 10 second increments. In most cases the sunny side up egg would have cooked within 60 seconds.

Step 7

Allow the egg to rest in the warm microwave for 30 seconds to ensure that the yolk does not explode when cut.
