Microwave Scrambled Eggs image

Scrambled eggs have long been a staple for most breakfasts, and most people add assorted ingredients to make their eggs extra fluffy, but this recipe is your basic scrambled eggs with just salt and pepper. If you want to add anything, add butter. Unlike milk, which will dilute the flavor and cause rubbery eggs, butter will make them creamy. Don't want to microwave them? Cook them on the stovetop over medium heat.

Scrambling eggs in the microwave is a one dish affair. No muss, no fuss. These come out perfectly and taste delicious. Found this in an issue of Everyday Food. Microwave cooking times vary and mine actually needs 55 seconds at each step instead of the 45 seconds listed. Don't add extra salt until you've tasted it.

SCRAMBLED EGGS IN THE MICROWAVE (GREAT FOR WORK!)



Scrambled Eggs in the Microwave (Great for Work!) image

I can only eat so much oatmeal and peanut butter toast without getting bored. I started making scrambled eggs in the microwave to break up the breakfast monotomy at work! I serve these alongside a piece of whole wheat toast and a glass of vegetable juice. In order to cut down on unhealthy cholesterol but keep the healthy protein, I use only one egg yolk; three works fine too (just increase the water [or milk] to 3 T). I'll sometimes make these at home when I need a quick breakfast.

Tips for Making the Best Scrambled Eggs in the Microwave:

  • Use a microwave-safe bowl: Make sure the bowl is large enough to accommodate the eggs and any add-ins you choose, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat. Glass or ceramic bowls are good options.
  • Whisk the eggs thoroughly: Before cooking, whisk the eggs vigorously until they are well-blended and frothy. This will help create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Season the eggs: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the whisked eggs before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the eggs.
  • Cook the eggs in short intervals: Microwave the eggs in short bursts of time, stirring in between each interval. This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Stir the eggs frequently: While the eggs are cooking, stir them frequently to ensure that they cook evenly and do not stick to the bowl.
  • Use a low to medium-low power setting: When cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave, use a low to medium-low power setting to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Scrambled eggs are best when they are cooked until they are just set but still slightly runny. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.

Conclusion:

Making scrambled eggs in the microwave is a quick, easy, and convenient way to prepare a delicious and nutritious breakfast. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked scrambled eggs that are light, fluffy, and flavorful. So, next time you're short on time, give this microwave scrambled eggs recipe a try!
