The Pampered Chef Ceramic Egg Cooker
Today, I am going to feature something that is both simple and functional. I was blessed to have received it almost two months ago: The Pampered Chef Ceramic Egg Cooker. These days I have been quite busy, and so anything that is low maintenance and gives you fast results in food preparation, gets a high five. It has been a life changer for me when it comes to getting something ready within 20 minutes or less for breakfast for two college kids, who are always rushing out the door in the mornings. I am not getting paid to share this item with you. I would just like to share the blessing of having this simple, functional, Ceramic Egg Cooker from Pampered Chef.
This egg cooker can make microwave omelets, oatmeal, french toast, muffins, etc. The two things that I have tried is the omelette and the muffins. The omelette takes literally five minutes. There are two and a half minutes of prep time, and then another two and a half minutes of cook time in the microwave. The best thing to do if you want to use frozen vegetables or quinoa, is to cook them at night so that they will be ready in the morning. Otherwise, you can use fresh veggies, and it will only require the two and a half minutes. Because of the fact that my son loves eggs, I have tried several varities of the omelette: omelette with cheese, omelette with cheese and lunch meat, and an everything omelette, which is the one that I will be discussing.

Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”Isaiah 40:4-5, NIV
