The first time I made a microwave egg bake in egg ramekin I felt like Jasmine in Aladdin (you know, the part where she escapes the palace to see a whole new world on the other side). If Jasmine was enamored with the dirty streets of Agrabah, she’d be blown away at the simplicity and taste of these microwave egg bakes.
