Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and pepper to the bowl and whisk the mixture together until well combined.
Add the butter or cooking spray to the bowl and stir it into the egg mixture
Microwave the egg mixture for 30 seconds on high power.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the eggs with a fork.
Place the bowl back in the microwave and cook for another 30 seconds on high power. Repeat this step two more times.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the eggs again. They should be fully cooked and scrambled at this point, but if they need more time, microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds.
Serve hot, season and enjoy.

Notes

Whisk the eggs thoroughly in a microwave-safe bowl for a uniform consistency.
For creamier eggs, add a splash of milk or a little cream before microwaving.
Microwave in short 15–20-second bursts on low power, if needed, stirring between each burst.
Stop cooking when the eggs are almost set, as residual heat will continue cooking them.
Stir in a little cheese before microwaving for a creamier texture.
