Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup beaten eggs about 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
- 0.125 tsp kosher salt
- 0.125 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 1 tsp chopped chives optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe mug for about 10–15 seconds; swirl to coat the sides.
- Whisk in beaten eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until uniformly mixed and slightly frothy.
- Microwave on high for 30–35 seconds, then stir, scraping the sides and bottom.
- Heat another 20–30 seconds; stir again to break up large curds.
- Microwave 15–25 seconds more until softly set and glossy. Fold in cheese and chives, then rest 30 seconds before serving.
Notes
Variation: Swap milk with water for extra-tender curds, or add a dash of hot sauce. For a heartier bowl, fold in pre-cooked bacon or diced ham after cooking. Serve over buttered toast or in a warm tortilla. Microwave strengths vary—shorten or extend the last burst by a few seconds to avoid overcooking.
