These microwave scrambled eggs are just as creamy and fluffy as stovetop eggs. They cook in minutes and make an elegant breakfast without effort. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or mug by microwaving it for 15-20 seconds. Swirl to coat the inside evenly. Crack the eggs into it.
Add the salt and whisk thoroughly with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
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.
Add the remaining half tablespoon of butter to the eggs and gently stir to incorporate it. Add pepper to taste.
