Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Fat
- 1 teaspoon butter or nonstick cooking spray
Optional Toppings
- Shredded cheese
- Chopped herbs
- Diced vegetables
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Add the milk or water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat the mixture with a fork until it is fully combined and slightly frothy, ensuring an even texture.
- Grease the container: Stir in the butter or alternatively spray the container with nonstick cooking spray if not already greased, to prevent sticking and add flavor during cooking.
- Microwave in intervals: Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Then remove and stir vigorously with a fork to break up the curds and promote even cooking.
- Continue cooking and stirring: Microwave the eggs in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. This should take about 1 to 1½ minutes total depending on your microwave’s power. Be careful not to overcook as eggs will continue to cook slightly after removing.
- Serve immediately: Once cooked to your liking, serve the eggs immediately. Add optional toppings like shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or diced vegetables to enhance flavor and texture as desired.
Notes
- For creamier eggs, use whole milk instead of water and avoid overcooking the eggs.
- You can mix in pre-cooked vegetables or shredded cheese before cooking to add more flavor and nutrition.
- Stirring frequently during microwaving prevents rubbery texture and ensures fluffiness.
