Notes
To make in a microwave egg cooker: Sprinkle salt in bottom of egg cooker; layer ingredients as directed. Place lid on cooker base, lining up notches; twist to secure. Place egg cooker in microwave. Microwave on High (100% power) until egg is nearly set, about 50 seconds. Let stand for 20 seconds before serving.
For a softer texture, substitute cubed whole grain bread for croutons.
Instead of back bacon, use a slice of Black Forest ham or 2 slices cooked strip or peameal bacon.
