Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the bowl: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a microwave-safe bowl or mug by microwaving it for 15-20 seconds. Once melted, swirl the butter around to coat the entire inside of the dish evenly.
- Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into the buttered bowl. Add the salt and whisk thoroughly with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Cook in intervals: Microwave the eggs on high for 30 seconds. Remove the dish, stir the eggs with a fork, and return to the microwave. Continue cooking in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
- Finish and serve: Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the eggs and gently stir to incorporate it. Sprinkle with pepper to taste, if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance, so watch the eggs carefully to avoid overcooking.
- For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or cream before whisking the eggs.
- Add fresh herbs or cheese after cooking for extra flavor.
- Stirring intermittently ensures even cooking and fluffier eggs.
