FAQs
Can I cook scrambled eggs in the microwave without milk?
Yes, you can omit the milk, but adding it helps make the eggs creamier and less rubbery.
How do I avoid rubbery eggs when microwaving?
Cook the eggs in short intervals, stirring or beating between each to ensure even cooking and prevent overcooking. Using milk can also help keep the texture soft.
