If it were any other day of the week and some other time of the evening,
I'd recommend doing your own research The local libraries have a lot
of resources!

Google is always available. Times of day (obviously varies) and libraries
aside, must you reply to well-known trolls?

OB Food: Here's a recipe for a (microwave) Breakfast Casserole I posted
January, 2000, and I'm planning to make it this morning

Breakfast Casserole

2 Tbs. butter or margarine
1 Tbs. chopped onion
8 eggs, beaten
1/3 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 c. cubed cooked ham or browned sausage (well drained)
3/4 c. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

In 2 qt. casserole, combine butter, onion and mushrooms. Microwave on
Medium until butter melts and onion is clear, 2-3 minutes, stirring
frequently. In mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt, parsley, rosemary and
cayenne. Beat until well blended. Pour into casserole with butter and
onion. Stir in ham or sausage, mushrooms and half the cheese. Microwave on
High 7-8 minutes, stirring 2-3 times, until eggs are set yet still moist.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Microwave 1 minute on Medium. Cover with
plastic wrap and let stand until cheese fully melts and eggs are a little
more set. Stir before serving.

Andy, I really don't give a rip if you try this recipe. I have it prepped
and in the fridge ready to pop in the microwave when it's time for brunch.

It requires stirring because #1 you have to whisk the eggs and other
ingredients together. #2 Because unless you want the egg-based casserole to
be hard as a brick in some spots and gooey in others, you have to stir it
while it's cooking. This is not difficult to understand. Apparently you've
never actually cooked anything (other than a TV dinner) in a microwave oven.

This looks great Jill! I'm always looking for new ways to serve eggs to
dad. Will this work you think in the convection oven?

Indeed... Eggs do cook quite well in the microwave but don't cook
evenly. Stirring them every minute or two (or sometimes every 30
seconds!) gives excellent results and it is a lot faster than baking. ;-)

I only asked because the convection oven would brown the top while
microwaving won't.

Sorry for the late reply, Om.... we were too busy enjoying the breakfast
I have no idea about a convection oven.

Putting a cast iron chicken fryer into the microwave *would* be
inappropriate. I don't see anything inherently wrong with the recipe Jill
posted. I know you have this sequoia up your ass about margarine, but it's
an alternate ingredient, and the recipe clearly says "butter" in the
directions. So what exactly do you find inappropriate?

In the recipe, the eggs were not whole, they were scrambled with a bunch of
other stuff. There's nothing wrong with that cooking method. In fact, in
some ways it's superior to cooking in a pan, because many people find
browned bits of egg objectionable, and the microwave makes it easy to avoid
that.

True, but once the microwave is on, I can't stir anymore (unless the
microwave's door switches have been modified). So 20seconds MW, open
door, stir, close door, 20seconds MW becomes a bit tedious. A pan is
easier for me.

But I can see a market for a microwave stirrer. Sort of like the
turntable, but mounted from the top, and spinning a bit faster. Anybody
know if such a thing exists?

Yes, and it works fine in my pan or the microwave omelet pan....

but I don't generally make an omelet with 8 eggs at a time like her
recipe called for! <g>

Most I've ever used in a single omelet is 4 eggs. I generally use only
2.

<shrugs> Works fine for me if done right.

Just 'cause you don't know how... ;-)

There are real techniques to microwave cooking to make food turn out
right. And it's not difficult unless one is too closed minded or too
stubborn and set in their ancient ways to learn!

Once I get off my procrastinating ass and get a food blog going, I'll
take a pic series of some very successful microwave egg cooking!

The casserole had eight eggs. It's only natural to make it for company. It
*is* summer; maybe John is in town. Or maybe she had Ailurophile over for
breakfast. Whatever; Jill's social life doesn't interest me all that much.
Why does it interest you?

it's not so much the eggs, but finding out there are egg-laying creatures
harbored in your microwave *is* disconcerting.

He has no social life, BTW, and "John" is fictitious.

So you think the paragraph above is actually six paragraphs, and you think
Jill is a guy. Have you checked to see if your tinfoil hat is intact and
firmly attached? It sounds like the aliens have been able to implant false
things into your head.
