2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk or water for a dairy-free alternative
  • teaspoon salt adjust to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients:

  1. Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Ensure the bowl is sufficiently deep to prevent spillage during cooking.

Combine Ingredients:

  1. Add the milk and salt to the eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This aeration helps achieve a fluffy texture.

Microwave in Intervals:

  1. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave, stir well, and scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure even cooking.

Continue Cooking:

  1. Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove and stir once again. Continue this process, microwaving in 30-second increments, until the eggs reach the desired consistency. This will typically take between 2 and 2 ½ minutes, depending on the microwave’s power.

Serve:

  1. Allow the eggs to cool briefly before serving. Enjoy plain or topped with fresh herbs, cheese, or other desired additions.
