Instructions

Combine Eggs and Liquids: Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Add the milk or water along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat the mixture thoroughly with a fork until fully combined and slightly frothy to introduce air for fluffier eggs.
Prepare Cooking Vessel: Stir in the butter directly or spray the container with nonstick cooking spray if the butter is not used, ensuring the eggs don’t stick during cooking.
Initial Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl or mug in the microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds. This starts the cooking process without overcooking the eggs.
Stir Eggs: Remove from the microwave and stir the eggs carefully with a fork to break up any curds forming and ensure even cooking.
Continue Cooking in Intervals: Microwave the eggs in 20-second bursts, stirring well after each, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. This should take about 1 to 1½ minutes total depending on your microwave’s power.
Serve Immediately: Do not overcook to prevent dryness. Serve the scrambled eggs hot with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or diced vegetables for enhanced taste.

Notes

Use whole milk instead of water for creamier scrambled eggs.
Avoid overcooking as the eggs will continue to cook slightly after microwaving.
Pre-cooked vegetables or shredded cheese can be added before cooking to make the dish more flavorful.
Microwave power varies; adjust cooking time accordingly for best results.
