Microwave Scrambled Eggs
Description
Microwave Scrambled Eggs use simple ingredients—eggs, milk, butter, salt, and black pepper—combined then cooked in a microwave-safe bowl. The eggs are microwaved at 70% power first for 45 seconds, then uncovered and cooking continues with frequent stirring until nearly set but still glossy. Letting the eggs rest covered for thirty seconds finishes the cooking gently. The butter enriches the eggs, helping them stay moist while the moderate power setting prevents tough overcooking.
The flavor is mild and buttery, with a soft texture that remains moist rather than dry or rubbery. This method is especially helpful when stovetop cooking is inconvenient. Additions like cheese can be stirred in afterward for extra richness.
The instructions note that microwaves vary in power, so checking early and not overcooking is key. The eggs may look slightly underdone when removed but will finish cooking in the resting period to tender doneness.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons milk
- 2 teaspoons butter
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, butter, salt, & pepper until well combined.
- Spray a small bowl with cooking spray and add egg mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a small plate.
- Microwave at 70% power for about 45 seconds. Uncover and cook an additional 35-45 seconds stirring frequently until almost cooked through, eggs should be glossy.
- Remove from the microwave and let rest 30 seconds covered, add cheese if desired.
Notes
- Microwave wattage varies; adjust cooking times accordingly and check the eggs early to prevent overcooking.
- Do not overcook; eggs should appear slightly underdone when removed, as they will continue to cook while resting.
