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.
