Woman alarms Brits after microwaving eggs – declaring it's the 'American way'

A US woman has left Brits aghast after whipping up a dish of fried eggs on a bagel - having cooked up the eggs in the microwave. Popular TV presenter Alex Murphy, who now lives in London with her British boyfriend, Paul Klein, shocked social media users after revealing what she claims to be the 'American way' of frying eggs.

In a video that has clocked up more than 1.7 million views on Facebook, the former Dancing on Ice star can be seen cracking two eggs into a bowl, seasoning these with salt and pepper. Then, in a move that will no doubt horrify breakfast lovers up and down the country, Alex, 34, can be seen popping the bowl of seasoned eggs into the microwave, setting the timer for one minute.
