These fluffy microwave scrambled eggs offer a remarkably quick and convenient way to enjoy a classic breakfast. Prepared with a gentle touch, the eggs achieve a light, airy, and tender texture, complemented by a rich, savory flavor. A sprinkle of fresh chives adds a delicate oniony note and a vibrant touch, making this simple dish both satisfying and elegant. The microwave cooking method ensures a consistently soft and creamy result, perfect for a busy morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. If using, add the butter to the egg mixture.
  3. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir the eggs thoroughly with a fork, scraping down the sides.
  4. Return to the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds. Stir again.
  5. Continue microwaving in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well after each, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. The total cooking time will vary depending on your microwave, typically ranging from 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Once cooked to your desired consistency, immediately remove from the microwave to prevent overcooking.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped chives.

Notes

* For the fluffiest results, do not overcook the eggs; they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the microwave.

* Use a larger microwave-safe bowl to prevent overflow as the eggs expand during cooking.

* Adjust the amount of milk or cream to your preference for creaminess.

* For added flavor, consider stirring in a tablespoon of shredded cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack during the last stirring interval.
