Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl.

- Add the butter or cooking spray to the bowl and stir it into the egg mixture
- Microwave the egg mixture for 30 seconds on high power.
- Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the eggs with a fork.
- Place the bowl back in the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds on high power. Repeat this step two more times.
- Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the eggs again. They should be fully cooked and scrambled at this point, but if they need more time, microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds.

Notes
- Whisk thoroughly: Beat the eggs well in a microwave-safe bowl to ensure a uniform consistency. Add a splash of milk for creaminess and continue whisking.
- Low and slow: Microwave the eggs on low power, if possible, in short 15-20 second bursts, stirring between each burst. But this is truly optional!
- Don't overcook: Stop microwaving just before the eggs are fully set, as they'll continue to cook from their residual heat. This prevents dry and rubbery eggs.
- Add dairy or cheese: To enhance creaminess, incorporate a small amount of cream, milk, or cheese into the eggs before microwaving, ensuring a velvety texture.
