Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped vegetables (optional, such as bell peppers or spinach)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe cup or mug.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the cup, and whisk with a fork until fully mixed and slightly frothy.
Stir in the butter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
If using, add the cheddar cheese and chopped vegetables, stirring them gently to combine.
Place the cup in the microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds.
Remove the cup, stir the eggs briskly with a fork to prevent overcooking on the edges, and return to the microwave.
Cook the eggs in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the eggs are just set and cooked to your desired consistency (this usually takes 2-3 total minutes).
Let the scrambled eggs sit for 1 minute to finish setting and cool slightly before eating.
Enjoy directly from the cup or transfer to a plate for serving.
