Microwave Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Introduction
Microwave scrambled eggs are a quick and easy way to enjoy a warm breakfast without the fuss of using a stove. Ready in just a few minutes, this simple recipe yields soft, fluffy eggs perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- Toast, to serve
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe jug. Add the milk and a pinch of salt, then use a fork to beat the mixture until well combined.
- Step 2: Microwave on High for 30 seconds. Remove and beat the eggs again to mix.
- Step 3: Return the jug to the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds. Beat the eggs once more, breaking up any lumps.
- Step 4: Microwave for 15 seconds more, then beat again. At this point, the eggs will be soft and loose—serve immediately if you prefer them this way.
- Step 5: For firmer eggs, microwave for an additional 15 seconds, beat once more, then serve.
Tips & Variations
- Try adding a sprinkle of cheese or chopped herbs before microwaving for extra flavor.
- Use a larger jug if you prefer fluffier eggs, allowing more air in while beating.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on your microwave’s power to avoid overcooking.
Storage
Microwave scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, stirring halfway through to avoid rubbery texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use skim or plant-based milk instead of whole milk?
Yes, you can substitute whole milk with skim or any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, though this may slightly change the texture and richness of the eggs.
How do I prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery in the microwave?
Be careful not to overcook the eggs. Stop microwaving when they are still slightly soft and allow them to finish cooking from residual heat after beating.
