Woman, 34, leaves British boyfriend ‘horrified’ after serving eggs blitzed in microwave – claiming it’s the ‘American way’.
A popular US presenter has gone viral after she made her boyfriend’s breakfast the “American way” – cooking the whole dish in a microwave.
Alex Murphy, 34, from Boston, lives with her boyfriend, Paul Klein, 30, in London and is known for her television presenting.
In a bid to whip up a delicious breakfast, she decided to serve a simple dish of fried eggs on a bagel – but the cooking method has left people in shock.
In the clip uploaded on Facebook, which has racked up 1.7 million views and hundreds of likes, the star proceeds to crack two eggs into a dish, before seasoning them with salt and pepper.
All seems pretty normal, until she pops the bowl into the microwave for one minute.
Surprisingly, the eggs appear cooked through and she finishes off the dish with a slice of cheese on top.

She proceeds to blitz the meal one more time, before scraping the eggs out of the bowl and placing them on a toasted bagel.
Alex, who previously appeared on Dancing on Ice in 2020, says: “I have to be honest, this isn’t how you normally prepare eggs in the UK,” before presenting them to her partner.
While he didn’t seem to mind the final result, many Brits have been left horrified by the strange “American” technique.
One person said: “Does she micro the chicken for dinner too?” [sic]
“If they had been cooked in a pan, they’d be eaten already,” another user added.
Someone else commented: “It looks like rubber – I’ve seen many Americans cook and I have to say they do a much better job than you’re doing here.”
“No thank you, don’t know what’s worse microwave eggs or microwave tea?” added another person.
Another viewer said: “Sorry but looked horrible I couldn’t eat it and I love eggs”
This isn’t the first time that Alex has gone viral with her American take on British cuisine.
Earlier this year, a viral video of her making a cuppa in the microwaves sent the country into a meltdown.
Her boyfriend’s hilarious reaction to the abomination which was made with cold water left Brit’s in hysterics after he threw the mug onto the floor.
