Tips

  • Use egg whites to bump up the protein content.
  • Use a microwave instead of a steamer for convenience.
  • Poke holes in the plastic wrap covering the bowl.
  • If the eggs are sticky or very wet after microwaving, steam them for a bit longer.
  • Slice the steamed egg with a knife to create a grid pattern before serving.
