Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Prepare the mug: Spray a 10 to 12 oz. coffee mug with cooking spray or lightly grease with butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Mix ingredients: Crack the eggs into the mug, add the milk, then season with salt and pepper. Use a fork to stir well, making sure to break the yolks completely so they don’t burst during cooking.
- First microwave: Microwave the mixture on high power for 40 seconds, then remove and stir the edges towards the center to ensure even cooking.
- Continue cooking: Microwave again for 20 seconds, stir again, then continue to microwave in 10 to 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until the eggs are just barely cooked through but still moist and fluffy.
- Serve: Serve the scrambled eggs warm straight from the mug for a quick meal.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any safety hazards.
- Adjust microwave time as needed depending on your microwave’s wattage.
- Milk can be substituted with any milk alternative or water if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add shredded cheese, herbs, or chopped vegetables before microwaving.
- Do not overcook to keep eggs tender and prevent dryness.
