Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 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. Swirl the melted butter around to coat the entire inside surface evenly, which ensures the eggs won’t stick.
- Whisk the eggs: Crack the two large eggs into the buttered bowl. Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Use a fork to whisk thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Cook in intervals: Microwave the eggs on high power for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir the eggs gently with a fork. Return the bowl to the microwave and continue cooking in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist and creamy.
- Finish and serve: Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the partially cooked eggs and gently stir to incorporate for extra richness. Optionally, sprinkle with pepper to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary based on your microwave’s wattage; adjust intervals accordingly.
- Stirring frequently helps prevent overcooking and ensures fluffy eggs.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs like chives or parsley before cooking.
- Use a microwave-safe bowl or mug to avoid any safety hazards.
