Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Butter or cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Optional toppings (e.g., shredded cheese, chopped herbs, hot sauce)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl or large mug. Make sure the bowl or mug is deep enough to prevent overflow during cooking.
Add milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk vigorously with a fork until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
Grease the inside of the bowl or mug with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 30 seconds.
Remove the bowl and use a fork to stir the eggs, scraping down the sides to ensure even cooking.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for additional 15-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until the eggs are just set and no liquid remains. This will typically take about 1–1.5 minutes depending on your microwave's power.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the eggs rest for 30 seconds as they continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
If desired, add toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Serve immediately.
