Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter (divided)
Seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the bowl: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a microwave-safe bowl or mug by microwaving it for 15-20 seconds. Once melted, swirl the butter around to coat the entire inside of the dish evenly to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into the buttered bowl. Add the salt and whisk thoroughly with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and mixture is smooth.
- Cook in intervals: Microwave the eggs on high for 30 seconds. Remove the dish and stir the eggs with a fork. Return to the microwave and continue cooking in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. This helps cook the eggs evenly and keep them fluffy.
- Finish and serve: Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the hot eggs and gently stir to incorporate it, enhancing richness and creaminess. Sprinkle with pepper to taste if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl or mug to avoid damage and ensure even heating.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave wattage; adjust intervals as needed.
- For creamier eggs, you may add a splash of milk or cream before microwaving, though this recipe keeps it simple.
- Stirring between intervals is crucial to avoid overcooking and achieve soft scrambled eggs.
