Microwave Scrambled Eggs Recipe

Eggs: The main ingredient, providing protein and a fluffy texture.

Milk: Adds creaminess and helps achieve a softer texture.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the eggs.

Pepper: Adds a bit of spice and depth to the flavor.

For fluffier eggs, try adding a small pat of butter to the mixture before microwaving. The butter will melt and create steam, which helps to make the scrambled eggs lighter and more airy.

• Allow the scrambled eggs to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the eggs watery.
• Transfer the cooled eggs into an airtight container. For best results, use a container that minimizes air space.
• Store the container in the refrigerator. The scrambled eggs will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
• For freezing, portion the scrambled eggs into individual servings. This makes it easier to reheat only what you need.
• Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to prevent freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped portions into a resealable freezer bag. Label the bag with the date to keep track of freshness.
• Store the bag in the freezer. The scrambled eggs can be frozen for up to 1 month.
• To reheat, remove a portion from the freezer and unwrap it. Place it in a microwave-safe dish.
• Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Ensure the scrambled eggs are heated evenly.
