How to make scrambled eggs in the microwave {and homemade Egg McMuffins!}

Do you cook in the microwave? 

This is how my husband taught me to make scrambled eggs in the microwave. (Yes, I’ll admit it. My Eagle Scout-Be Prepared husband taught me to cook. Maybe sometime I’ll share how to make bacon and eggs in a paper sack over a campfire.)

Spray the microwave safe dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Alternatively, my husband likes to save bacon grease, and he’ll rub a bit of it around the bottom of the dish. I think I can feel my arteries clogging….

Use a fork to beat the eggs slightly in the microwave dish. (Please excuse the simplistic directions if you already know all this. I needed these instructions not too long ago.)

 Add milk and stir. Milk helps to stretch the eggs and makes them fluffier. It also gives them a more appetizing color.

Salt, if desired.

Microwave for one-minute intervals, stirring each time. (Actually, it’s more like scraping it off the edges of the dish and breaking up egg chunks with a fork. But you’re smart. You’ll figure it out.)

Alternatively, don’t stir in between and you’ll have a solid scrambled egg perfect for putting on an English muffin or biscuit. Add a slice of cheese and a breakfast sausage patty and you have a homemade Egg McMuffin. 

Four eggs took 3 minutes and 30 seconds in my microwave.

Enjoy!

How does it look? Any suggestions?
