Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, crack the 4 large eggs. Ensure the bowl is large enough to allow the eggs to expand as they cook.
Add 4 tablespoons of whole milk to the eggs. Season with 0.25 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Whisk thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Drop 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter into the egg mixture. The butter will melt during cooking and provide a rich, creamy texture.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook the eggs on high for 30 seconds.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the eggs thoroughly with a fork, ensuring that the cooked portions are mixed back into the liquid parts.
Repeat the process of microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. This should take about 2-3 total minutes, depending on your microwave’s power.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, give them a final stir to break up any large curds. If desired, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives over the top for garnish.
Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between two plates and serve immediately. Enjoy your buttery microwave scrambled eggs for two!
