My favorite 1minute meal and the one thing I can’t give up my microwave for…. fluffy scrambled eggs.

They just hit different.

Microwave scrambled eggs definitely hit different. I’ve always told my kids this 🤣🤣🫡

So you just scramble the eggs and pop the bowl in the microwave?

Yep. Scramble eggs in mug or bowl, 40 secs in microwave.

Genius, will be trying today

You, too; hit different 💜

🌞

🧘🏼‍♀️

Oof, never tried this before. Always fried my eggs up. Or mixed it with milk, dip bread in it, then fry up the bread. We call it French toast.

My kids prefer eggs fried up in bacon grease or French toast, but if you like scrambled eggs these are fluffier than stove cooked scrambled eggs even with added milk.

I'm going to buy a microwave just because of this post😉

Haha, it really is the only thing I use it for after getting an air fryer.

Damn! Those look good.

I'd eat that.

Must try this.

You can get eggs real fluffy on stovetop too if you wisk in water while cooking

Sure, but it’s going to take me a lot longer than 40 secs. I also don’t have a stove at my office so this is often my go to meal between patients.

Ya absolutely

what’s your recipe??

2 eggs, salt, pepper, microwave 40 secs, top with whatever seasoning and herbs you like.

zapped and screenshot to save for later 🙃

Interesting. Did you put an butter or oil? Is it dry?

Nope. I don’t put butter but you could grease your bowl first to prevent sticking. Not dry at all, more of an airy texture.

Have you tried the air fryer? Chef kiss

Yes I love my air fryer, but no comparison on the texture and takes literally 10x longer.

Right, we use the muffin tins and make little quiches.

I made my eggs in the time it took you to reply that 😜

You fancy lol

No butter?

No butter, but I don’t think it would negatively impact it.

Nice work

😋

Just one minute?? I’ve truly NEVER considered using the microwave for eggs, this is groundbreaking. 🤯 How many eggs?

2 eggs scrambled, 40 secs. My home microwave is a little more powerful so it only takes 30. The key is to not overcook them so they are airy and not tough.

So is mine, I’m literally going to try this rn. SCIENCE!!

Let me know what you think!

Not sure about it… looks lovely but just don’t like the idea of cooking with a microwave in the first place… Is that not the FIAT version of cooking ? Get the pan out on some fire! 🔥

No kitchen at my office and now I’m addicted to it. I have even made them at a hotel. It’s a hell of a lot better than a bag of chips or granola bar in a pinch.

Scrambled eggs in the microwave was literally the only thing my dad could cook when I was a kid. I had them for dinner every time my mom wasn’t home in the evening.

Awww 🫂

I was an 80’s latchkey kid. I think it’s why I’m a great cook.

Same with me.

Not a great cook, but I do most of my families cooking now. Being an 80s kid must have something to do with it!

Nothing fiat about a microwave, that's just science.

Being efficient isn’t fiat at all.

Okay. Pics show step 1, 2, 3.

2 eggs, 30 seconds. I think the surface distribution had something to do with this. But I don’t waste, mixed it up again and added another 15 seconds. NOT BAD! Not rubbery, decent texture. I’ll be experimenting with this! I hate having to wash a pan every morning.

Small container like a ramekin or mug works much better.

Will try again tomorrow and maybe also add a splash of cream. I sprinkled with truffle salt 🤌

fun fact: the proteins in your eye are very much like an egg white and if they’re ever exposed to microwaves for long enough they would be permanently scrambled.

Microwaving eggs is a sin

You do you 🤷‍♀️

My microwave is tiny and underpowered, so it takes me 2 minutes 40 seconds to cook 4 eggs with cream and butter to hard-scrambled, stirring every 40 seconds. I haven't tried a small, deep dish. Thanks for the tip.

I don't favor the fluffiness, but I love not having to scrub a skillet!

I *highly* recommend you try the french method, at least for when you want 100% amazing eggs.

1. whisk eggs with a fork in a bowl with a dollop of cream.

2. pour eggs into a small saucepan which has been buttered heavily, and is on very low heat

3. Get a rubber/silicone spatula and gently stir the eggs around the sauce pan constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan every revolution

Yes this will take a lot more time, but when you see the sudden transformation of the eggs into perfect, golden yellow curds, I think you will thank me! It may not be your go to, but Im guessing you'll use it for your occasionals. ;-)

Thx. I use the French technique on scrambled eggs and omlettes, but only when I have time and a kitchen. No doubt it produces the silkiest, creamy result. At my office or in a hotel room, I make do with a microwave and actually love the airy texture of these eggs.
