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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk vigorously with a fork until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Grease the inside of the bowl or mug with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 30 seconds.
Step 5
Remove the bowl and use a fork to stir the eggs, scraping down the sides to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
If desired, add toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Serve immediately.
