Chef’s Notes
- For extra creamy scrambled eggs, add a small pat of butter before cooking.
- Mix in shredded cheese, chopped herbs, diced ham, or cooked bacon after the final stir for additional flavor.
- Microwave cooking times may vary slightly depending on the wattage of your microwave, so watch the eggs closely during the final minute.
- Use a larger bowl than you think you need to help prevent the eggs from overflowing while cooking.
