■WM MICROWAVE
VHF MINUTES
Breakfast is an important part of
a day’s diet, but who has time for
breakfast? You do, when you
microwave a quick breakfast
sandwich.
Make a nutritious topping the
night before; spread on toasted
bread or English muffin and
microwave a few seconds to heat.
Or make the whole thing in the
morning. Either way, during the
hectic morning hour, microwave
cooking time is just a matter of
minutes.
Directions for microwaving Oat
and Honey Toast topping call for
two microwave cooking steps.
Both give a microwave time, but
also say that the mixture should
boil for a certain number of sec
onds. Your microwave may cook
faster or slower than the time
called for, but most important is
that the mixture boil rapidly for the
time indicated. Watch through the
microwave door and keep track
with the count-down of seconds on
your microwave’s digital timer.
The time doesn’t have to be abso-

lutely exact in this recipe, but the
mixture must boil enough or it
won’t thicken properly. You may
see these kinds of directions in
other recipes, like candies, jellies
or frostings; those will have to be .
timed accurately.
Toppings for both Oat and Hon
ey Toast and Swiss and Bacon
Muffins may be made ahead and
refrigerated. Both will thicken as
they chill. Soften the oat and honey
mixture by microwaving it 10 or
20 seconds. But, soften the cheese
mixture by stirring vigorously with
a fork microwaving it may start
to melt the cheese and that
shouldn’t happen until it’s spread
on the English muffin.
It would be convenient to spread
the fillings on toast or English
muffin the night before, but I’d
suggest you do it right before eat
ing otherwise toast or muffin
gets soggy. I discovered that the
oat and honey mixture is great
between graham crackers those
can be spread ahead and refriger
ated for a sweet but nutritious

snack.
Egg and Cheese Roll should be
made and then eaten at once. But it
won’t slow you down much in the
morning. It’s a quick and easy
recipe basically an omlct for
one, garnished with cheese and
plenty of black pepper which
microwaves in about a minute.
Cover it as directed with waxed
paper to hold in some heat and
promote even cooking. If you have
time, cook the minimum lime and
let the egg stand, still covered, to
finish cooking on its own. That
way it will be done, yet not tough
and rubbery from overcooking.
