Eggs
Step 1
Crack open the shell of your egg. Empty the egg into a small plastic or glass bowl.
Step 2
Add 2 tsp. of water or milk inside the bowl. Although they are optional, water and milk will cause your eggs to be fluffy and light. Sprinkle salt and pepper inside of the bowl if you desire to add flavor to the eggs.
Step 3
Use a spoon to stir the egg, water and seasonings together inside of the bowl.
Step 4
Place the bowl inside of the microwave, and set the timer. For a 600-watt microwave oven, set the timer for 45 seconds.
Step 5
Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir the contents that are in the bowl. Place the bowl back inside of the microwave for another 60 seconds to finish cooking. Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir the eggs to scramble.
Warning
Do not place an egg that is in its shell inside the microwave because it will explode.
