Perfect Microwaved Scrambled Eggs and Cheese for One.

Recipe #127255 | 5 min | 3 min prep | add private note

Scrambling eggs in the microwave is a one dish affair. No muss, no fuss. These come out perfectly and taste delicious. Found this in an issue of Everyday Food. Microwave cooking times vary and mine actually needs 55 seconds at each step instead of the 45 seconds listed. Don't add extra salt until you've tasted it.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large (10oz) microwave-safe custard cup or ramekin, combine eggs, milk, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir in scallion.
  2. 2
    Microwave (uncovered) on high for 45 seconds; stir with a fork. Continue cooking until eggs are almost set, about 45 seconds more. Remove from microwave.
  3. 3
    With a clean fork, stir in cheese; cover with a paper towel. Let stand until cheese has melted and eggs are set, about 1 minute. Top with tomato and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    this is the first time i have made scrambled eggs in the microwave and it worked really well, however i had to start over because i have a 900w microwave and didn't estimate the times correctly but the second time it turned out really nicely, and i didn't use the cherry tomato, thanks for posting

    I was looking for a lower fat way to cook scrambled eggs without so much fat. These totally hit the mark. I've also tried it with other herb/cheese combos. Rosemary and feta is especially good.

    I've made this frequently...I tried fresh rosemary & feta as suggested, as well as tomatoes, asiago & green peppers, as in the picture. I think I'll try salsa and cheddar with some avocado...or finely chopped spinach and mushrooms. This is great for quick experiments!! Thanks!
